Big fat swollen feet!

[DLB22]

I know swollen feet is just one of those lovely pregnancy inevitabilities (and this hot weather isn't helping) but is there a stage where you should start worry? I am 37 weeks and my feet, calves and hands are uncomfortably swollen. You can't see the bones in my foot and my ankle bone is non existent! I don't have any further symptoms of pre-eclampsia but it's getting unbearable.

Does it go down if you elevate your feet/apply a cold compress?

If nothing is bringing the swelling down, I would contact your midwife and ask her advice. That sounds like a lot of swelling :(

Helps a little. I have a midwife appointment on Monday so will discuss then. Thanks

That was the point at which I stopped commuting, stopped rushing and generally eased off at work. And no one argued .
