Swelling vs Preeclampsia

[Kittykc]

When should you start to worry about swelling? 🤔

I’m 36+2 and the past few days my feet/legs and hands have been so much more swollen, even from first thing in the morning. Is that normal? 🤔💙

Get it checked asap,better to rule it out.

It's always the first sign for me

The only way to know is to have blood pressure and urine checked.

Please get it checked. It might be nothing to worry about but a consultant actually used that (swelling that doesn't go away overnight) as an example for me of when to contact them ASAP.

I haven’t been swollen at all the whole way through and had noticed I was struggling to get my rings off the other day (they’re usually too big). I’m almost 36 weeks. I think it was the heat though, they’ve been fine again since

It's a tough one as the heat causes a lot of water retention too. Some swelling is perfectly normal, extreme or any facial swelling is a red flag.
Better to ask the midwife just in case

Just get yourself checked. No one will think you are wasting their time.
