odd facial swelling?

Anyone else have odd facial swelling? Just two days ago I started having pain and tenderness around my left eye, then the next morning I noticed the entire area around my left eye was swollen. I figured it was just a reaction to this new lotion I've been using, but today it's still there and I've never had a skin reaction last this long. I'm just not sure whether I should be worried?

    I would call your doc. Mine always asks at my visits if I have excessive swelling any where or in the face. I am not sure why, but it makes me think it's worth a call to the doc.

    Facial swelling can be a sign of pre-eclampsia so I would definitely call my doctor and see if they wanted me to come in and get checked. That being said weird skin reactions are pretty common during pregnancy so it may be absolutely nothing too. But I'd rather get everything checked out than wait and see at this stage of the game.

    ^ this. It's definitely worth a call to your doctor to check in. Even when I had "normal" swelling in my feet/ankles after a long day of walking around, my doctor wanted to give me a quick once over to make sure my BP wasn't spiking or that I didn't have protein in my urine. It might be just be a funny skin reaction, but it doesn't hurt to call in.
