yesterday, early evening, my right hand blew up to look like the michelin man's. it was so swollen i couldn't bend my thumb.
i know swelling of the feet and hands is normal in pregnancy but i'm worried about pre-eclampsia . i think the storyline of Helen in the Archers being rushed in for an emergency c-section after she had swollen ankles and a headache has made me even more paranoid then i am usually am.
i had a 32 week check with my midwife yesterday and my BP was normal and urine was clear, should that be reassuring? my hand is nowhere near as swollen now but it's still a bit puffy and it feels a bit tingly.
last night i said i'd go to the MAU if i was still swollen, but am i over-reacting?
