When did your feet/ankles start swelling up?

[suntodayplease]

Random question I know, and last pregnancy was only 3 years ago, yet I can't remember when I started to get really uncomfortable with swollen fingers and ankles! 30weeks and rings and shoes still fitting fine, so when should I expect to balloon up?!

I'm 22+5 and been getting swollen fingers since about 14 weeks. My feet and eyes have been starting to swell up today. I think it must be different for everyone, although it's worrying me that it could be the start of pre-eclampsia.

My hands didn't really swell at all, and my feet were mostly fine too, apart from the odd day here and there. However, a couple of days after the birth my feet swelled so much I thought they would split open - it was vile!

They returned to normal after a week or two - not sure if my experience is common or not tho. I probably avoided a lot of the swelling as was heavily pg in the middle of winter.

Eyes, haha! Imagine walking about with bug eyes?

Oh I had the post birth swelling too, I'm sure there's an official term for it. I think I peed it out after a couple of days but I recall struggling to get my shoes on to leave hospital! Gosh another lovely post birth thing to look forward to!

I never did guess some of us are just lucky!

Good question I def had massively swollen ankles last time towards the end and had to take my rings off but I can't remember how far along I was. It was a summer pregnancy like this time too - currently 30weeks and feet have gone up a shoe size but ankles and feet. Don't actually look swollen yet.

I think it is more a curse of a summer pregnancy - willing to stand corrected though

Strangely my last pregnancy was a winter one, yet I must have got puffy hands and feet earlier? Just one of those things, fingers crossed (although not swollen!) I can avoid the mitchellin look for a while longer.

I didn't have swollen feet/ankles at all in my first pregnancy however I had a January baby; I am currently 39 weeks pregnant and my feet and ankles are huge! I think it's probably to do with the weather as well. They started swelling about a month ago-around the time that the heat wave struck!

24 weeks and getting occasional fatlady ankles after lots of sitting/standing at work...first pg and rings etc still fit (for now!)

Bang on 21 weeks, coincided with the really hot weather - my ankles have vanished!

I am also 39 weeks Matilda and mine have been swollen since the beginning of the heatwave too. And my fingers. So attractive!

Mine didn't at all in all 3 pregnancies.

I have been puffy since I found out I was pregnant. Now 13 weeks and my shoes are all tight. Mind you I don't think the heat is helping.

I'm not swelling and I'm 27 weeks - thank god!

Puffy hands, face and particularly eyes can be a sign of an overactive thyroid so anybody with those get checked out!

Around 30weeks started having swollen feet and hands put it down to working on my feet and was currently a heat wave in April-may.

Turned out to be pre eclampsia a couple weeks later was noticed by midwife at app with urine test thing,was prescribed meds from hospital.
Had induced pfb at 35+5.

Should always mention swelling to midwife imo just incase.

Il correct think it may have been pre pre-eclampsia if there's such a thing as il be honest I didn't ask many questions and just went along with medical advise.

I wasn't ill besides swelling right up to birth,never had so much blood taken in my life over last couple weeks,swear I could still feel a needle in my arm for a while after.

Never. DD was a July baby, but we had a crap summer and heat wasn't a problem.

They didn't
