when should I call my doctor?

Question

Is swelling in my feet at 24 weeks enough concern to call my doctors office in the morning? The office is closed on the weekend. I have never used the emergency option and I don't want to abuse it. Should I call tomorrow, wait till Monday, or wait till my appt this Wednesday.
I cropped the crusty toes for y'all

Answer

It's normal, but there are things you can do...drink a gallon of fluids (not caffeinated) a day, wear compression socks, and elevate a couple of times a day but stay active...you can swing by Walmart and check your blood pressure for reassurance, but that's not near the level I'd be concerned about. I would try really hard to get the swelling down though so that it's not a miserable few months ahead of ya cuz it will only get worse...

Answer

I went through this about a month ago because of all the activity of moving I was doing like someone said relax and elevate your feet, you'll be back to normal in no time

Answer

Have you checked your blood pressure ? If not call the on call doctor to ask. Most of the time could be nothing but it could also be pre eclampsia 😬 better safe than sorry ! Good luck 🙏🏼

Answer

I think you're safe to wait unless they keep getting worse or your bp is too high. I was told to elevate my feet above my heart and that helped out :)

Answer

Just went thru this. Elevate your feet with at least 5 pillows or as high as the back of the couch. Take your BP. If it's higher than 140/90, call the doctor.

Answer

That's normal during pregnancy.
