Is this swelling I should be concerned about or does this look like normal weight gain?

Question

I feel like within last 3 weeks my weight has ballooned (10 lbs in 4 weeks 😱).  Today I’m 33 weeks.  Picture on the left was 10/6 and right was 10/26.  I’ve googled and now have myself concerned it’s preeclampsia despite no high BP before.  I have an appointment tomorrow.

Answer

Regardless of if it’s normal or not, definitely bring it up (If your dr doesn’t already). Mine gave me a lecture about “gaining too much weight” already (currently 32 weeks). Whoopsies

Answer

I think pregnancy causes water retention which is what it looks like in your case. If your BP is fine, then it’s probably not pre-e. I’m inclined to say this is normal weight gain, but if you’re concerned it never hurts to ask your doc! 😊
My face swells in the last month of pregnancy as well.

Answer

Stay off the internet it’s not your friend that was the best advice anyone gave me during my first pregnancy!! If you have any questions or concerns always ask your midwife of doctor bc you’ll only work yourself into a panic googling stuff!!
