Has anyone else had experience of water retention so early in pregnancy?

Googling around, I see lots about bloating and water retention in later pregnancy, but nothing in the 1st trimester.

Is it normal? Should I be worried? It started only yesterday, I look puffy everywhere!

Check symptoms online for pre eclampsia.

High blood pressure and swelling are two of them. You could test your own blood pressure if you have a machine.
