17 weeks and swollen ankles!!!?

Question

Isn't it too early to be swollen?! My ankles have never been swollen before. I am of normal weight and do not have high blood pressure.. Terrified to get preeclampsia!! What the heck? Anyone else puffy already? I am a nurse though, and noticed it after my third 12 hr shift in a row.

Answer

swelling is normal especially if you're on your feet a lot...also according to my OB office the swelling you really need to watch out for is of your hands and face...hands and face to them means there's a problem serious problem.
good luck.

Answer

This nurse has been swelling since 10 weeks. I already have a little high. O but no preeclampsia yet.

Answer

I'm a nurse too and I'm 17 weeks with twins. I notice some swelling in my feet after 2+ shifts. No high BP here either. Doc says that's normal when you're on your feet all day as long as it goes away over night when you're feet are elevated.

Answer

Add more protein into your diet!! This will really help reduce swelling

Answer

I'm only 14 weeks, my ankles swell badly when I do a lot of walking.
