20 weeks with twins and my legs/ankles/feet are super swollen today - normally have super bony feet. Is this normal so early? I did get a prenatal massage today (and it was AH-MAZING!). Could that make me swell?

Question

Answer

Watch out for pre eclampsia.  Buy a blood pressure pump and check your blood pressure everyday to make sure it isnt rising. If it rises too high you could be showing signs of pre eclampsia.  This can be very fatal for you and the babies if not caught early. And my doc said pre eclampsia is very common with women who are having twins. Good luck!

Answer

I started swelling early also .. I worked on my feet for 12-13 hours .. I was taken off of full duty because of the swelling .. Now at 26w3d I'm swelling again which is a bit more normal but I also monitor my BP and increased my water intake.

Answer

Order some compression stockings from the Internet. You can also get them at Walmart. It will help with the swelling.

Answer

You need to tell your doctor about this immediately for it can be a symptom of preclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy) This can have serious effects on you and your baby. Please Don't Wait!

Answer

I am 27 weeks and I get swollen feet, ankles, legs and hands 😕 as long as I take time to lie down now and again throughout the day I can keep the swelling down 😊
