38 w 4 d and have had horrible painful swelling during my entire last trimester. In my face, hands and arms, legs and feet. The two pictures below are my legs/feet’s at their worst vs. after two days of rest and elevation. However, by day three if I get up and start doing literally anything they go right back. I can’t even wear real shoes. Even my flip flops are too small.

My hands are so bad that I can’t even wear my rings. My wedding band is a size 5.5 and right now I’m wearing a fake one that is a size 8.5 and I haven’t been able to take it off now for about a week.

I will be seeing my OB tomorrow and we have talked about possibly inducing this week. Can’t wait to meet my baby girl and get rid of this swelling for good!
