Sudden water retention and swelling

Does anyone have any tips for this? I've managed to stay relatively unbloated from weeks 12-30. Now am dealing with swollen feet and fingers. Have soaked in cold water, elevated feet, had foot massages from DH. Anything else that is a good fix please?

You should get your bp and urine checked.

This.

It could be a sign of pre-eclampsia. You should seek medical advice to rule it out.

That's what I thought but funnily enough I had a MW Appt last week (thurs) and this started on Friday. bp and urine normal. Should I ask for another check?

I would, yes. It's probably nothing and just down to the weather, but it's best to be cautious about possible pre-eclampsia. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks all - I have to go in next week for a routine blood test so will try to speak to another MW then.
