Anyone else suddenly swelling?

Question

I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow and just starting this week my feet and ankles are swollen. I am on my feet all day, so I know that's not helping but even when I get home I put them up and it just never goes down😫
I do have an appointment tomorrow and I'll mention it, has anyone found any good tips to get the swelling down? I think I'm just at the point where everything hurts

Answer

If the swelling doesn’t go down with elevation, you’ll want to be checked for preeclampsia

Answer

I started swelling at 32 weeks 😭 now I’m almost 37 weeks and the swelling goes all the way up to my thigh. I seriously feel like I have elephant legs. The only thing that really helps is staying off of them. You can also do an epsom salt soak or try compression socks. I would definitely mention it at your appointment so they can rule out preeclampsia, but swelling can definitely be normal. Like I said I’ve almost had my swelling for 5 weeks but since my bp is normal my dr. Is not worried.

Answer

Almost 35 weeks and mine started about a week ago. Struggling hardcore. My bp is normal though, and the swelling seems to go down with elevation and compression socks. We go back to the doctor today and I am gonna ask her because it is making me a little nervous how bad it gets during the day.

Answer

That’s when my feet suddenly started swelling too. Try to stay off of them as much as you can. When you’re sitting, prop your feet up on something. Usually my swelling goes down as I sleep so by the morning my feet look pretty normal. But they swell throughout the day.

Answer

I swelled up like a balloon starting at 36 weeks. 😭 it’s only gotten worse
