Swelling, preeclampsia ??

Question

I have been having swelling in my feet for the past 3 days or so (I am 36 weeks and 4 days) is this something I should be worried about that my leg is indented after having them crossed for a couple minutes??  I was sitting cross cross on my bed while eating.

Answer

Any headaches? Pain above ribs or around rib area? Shortness of breath? Hows blood pressure?

Answer

Is only one leg swollen?

Answer

That doesn’t look like putting edema to me from this pic. It looks more like an infection from sitting too long that would happen if you were swelling or not. Have you taken your BP? That would be a better indicator for concern.

Answer

You should call your ob.

Answer

When do you see your dr again? Make sure to let them know of any new symptoms and they can check your urine for proteins

Answer

My feet/legs/hands have been swollen for nearly two weeks now (37 weeks today) my blood pressure has been good every time we've checked it so my doctor hasn't been worried. I just alternate between having them up, and walking, and use it as an excuse to get foot massages from hubs 😂 like my feet are swollen to the point I can't even get most of my shoes on anymore, nor can I wear socks. Also ankles are a thing of the past. 🤷

Answer

Swelling is pretty normal later in pregnancy, but have you checked your blood pressure. That usually s better indicator
