Normal swelling - or worrisome?

Question

My feet have been really puffy all day. They feel like they're full of jelly when I walk. No swelling anywhere else and I've had no problem with high blood pressure at all throughout the pregnancy.  It's a hot day and I was on my feet a lot. Seem normal or should I go get checked?

Answer

I think if they're like double in size extreme swelling then you should get checked out but they don't look too bad to me. especially since it's hot.out. I notice my hands and feet swell more when I'm really active or I get to warm.
 just prop them up and drink water. maybe rub them if you can to help stimulate blood dlow.

Answer

I'm 38 weeks and my feet don't swell that often. Mainly when it's hot or if I've been on my feet all day the previous day or day of... I've read to watch for puffiness in the face. Hands and feet are common places. I bought compression socks at Walgreens and they help the days I need them. Also try to keep your feet up and drink lots of water. If it continues to get worse just call the doctor and ask.

Answer

If it's just legs and lower its from baby pushing on a main vein, and the heat. If hands and face also I'd go get checked :)

Answer

My feet looked like this a few days after I gave birth, perfectly normal, if you want go get yourself a pair of compression stockings, I didn't and my feet have gone back down to normal.
