Swollen legs and (ahem) fanjo - please tell me I'm not the only one!

[Snowboarder]

I'm 28 weeks tomorrow and have horrible puffy legs despite wearing those tight flight sock things and elevating them at night. The left leg is more swollen than the right and my poor fanjo just feels like a couple of slabs of steak flapping around (apologies for the tmi!)

I get seen weekly by a consultant obstetrician (DS1 was prem) who doesn't seem to think any of this is out of the ordinary BUT I am starting to feel very low about it. I wasn't particularly skinny pre pg but I'm bursting out of my maternity jeans and my legs look like those of a fat stranger.

Please tell me I'm not the only one?!

Also 28 weeks and have spent all evening with legs up to reduce horrid swelling

Best not to talk about my unladylike ladybits

Has made me feel a little bit better to read that someone else feels the same - hope that that works for you too x.

Sadly,you are not alone

This is pg #2 - 1st pg very swollen legs (that people kept saying I must be unwell) and a bit in the "bits" dept
2nd pg,am now 35 weeks,with much less leg swelling but lots of swelling down below with a varicose vein no one talks about that,do they!!

Can you still see your fanjo?! I'm impressed. Mine could have turned blue and fallen off and I wouldn't be able to tell.

Mine HAS turned blue. Seriously. I prefer not to think about it.

Legs aren't swollen in a water-retention kind of way, but they are in a cake-drops-immediately-to-thighs kind of way.

I love being pregnant when I'm dressed ;)

What I meant to say yesterday was the good news is,it all goes back yo normal after

Well, more or less!!
