When did you start swelling?

Question

I’m 20 weeks and I’ve had a little swelling in my feet, ankles & hands here and there since about 16 weeks. But today my ankles and feet are swelling terribly!
- yes, I’ve been drinking a lot of water and propping my feet up the best I can while at work.
Any other tips though? 
I’m curious when other twin moms started to swell like this?

Answer

I started to swell at 32 weeks, right when I left on maternity leave! Got my first stretch mark that week too. And it was the beginning of summer! No real ways to get out of it except walk as much as possible and keep active if possible.

Answer

My swelling got awful at about 32 weeks and stayed until a week or so after I delivered. I had to wear thigh high compression stockings every day in order to be able to function. Lay down with my feet up also helped.

Answer

Almost 35 weeks and I’ve had no swelling. I think every one is different. I also heard that sometimes where the babies are sitting can cause some swelling in the legs and feet.

I’ve been swelling hands and feet since 16 weeks 😫 I’ll be 20 weeks Friday. It’s so painful. Even wearing compression socks haven’t seemed to help.

Mild swelling in fingers and feet at 16 weeks. I can still wear my shoes and most days I wear my wedding band but I should probably stop with the rings very soon!
