My face feels funny.

Had my flu jag today - not sure if that's relevant. 33+6, had the jag at about 12 and at about half 1 my face started to feel tight and swollen. I've been checking in the mirror all day and I can't actually see any swelling but I can feel it. Especially when I smile or scrunch my face up. Should I be concerned since I can't actually see any swelling?

I'm not sure to be honest :( if you are very worried it may be worth a call to NHS Direct to be on the safe side? x

That sounds uncomfortable, give the ooh doc a call or your normal GP in the morning if its still a problem.
Unless its in your airways too, in which case I'd pop to A&E or a walk in centre as soon as you can.
Hopefully it's nothing and you wake up in the morning feeling fine.

Speak to NHS direct or your midwife. I have just been reading through my scribbled notes that I took at my antenatal classes and I have notes saying Puffy face, funny eyes and sickness/ vomiting could be signs of pre-eclampsia.

I am not trying to scaremonger, but a quick call will put your mind at rest- hopefully you are fine by now anyway.

Sorry, must have hidden this by accident it's not actually swollen so I'm not overly worried and it's starting to feel a bit better now, thanks though :)
