Should I be worried??? Swelling

Migdalia • Mon, Jun 13

I am a couple days shy of 18 weeks pregnant with twin boys. My right foot alone has been getting terribly swollen and it has begun to hurt as well. I thought it would be a bit early for swelling. I have been drinking lots of water and elevating my leg daily, but I still swell. It hurts to put shoes on. Should I be concerned?

A lot of times swelling in one leg can indicate a blood clot or something pressing on important vessels that supply that leg, I would definitely get it checked out asap. It may be nothing, but it's better to be safe

So apparently it's just pregnancy. One of my twins are cutting circulation to my leg some way somehow. That's why it's one leg swelling and hurting. Went for an us for dvt and it was negative

Thank you, I have a consult with my twin specialist. Hopefully he doesn't just brush it off as nothing when it could be something.

Yes go to doctor in my book they gave me it says swelling like that you should see ob. Odd that it's in one foot?
