Not very swollen, but a bit. Ankles seem fine. Feet are just... sore. I feel as though I've been on a 12 mile run in too thin socks. They are achy and tender and sensitive.

Am popping in to hosp for a CTG tomorrow so will mention it then, just thought I'd see if MN thought it was normal or anything to be concerned about.

Hi, could you call your midwife? I am sure it is nothing to worry about but I have been told to call the MW or MAU if my feet or hands swell. How are you feeling other than your feet?

I don't have a midwife. Am not in the UK. Could call the hospital but the language barrier is a problem.

Apart from the feet I feel completely normal.

i am at 41 weeks. my mw told me she would expect nothing less that a little bit of swelling at this stage.

Hi OP, sorry I haven't posted for ages - am on hols and have very dodgy internet access. I just rechecked my midwife advice and it says to call the hospital if swelling is sudden and / or severe, especially if you have other symptoms like headaches.

Sounds like your feet are just really ready for your baby to arrive!

I hope your appt goes well tomorrow and that you are still feeling well
