So I had some really bad swelling for about a month and a half... and when I say bad swelling I’m not exaggerating at all. I showed my doctor at my last appointment (33 weeks) and he said “amongst all of my patients, you’re definitely winning the swelling contest.”

The first one was after a half a day at work, the second at 6am, and I don’t think the pictures do much justice it was much worse (think Michelin man)... any who doctor said he was concerned about gestational diabetes and pre-e. I passed both tests, and he just told me to keep them elevated, drink more water and wear compression socks, which I had been doing. So 3 days after my appointment I just said “you know what, I think I’m just drinking too much water.” I cut my water intake in half (I was drinking a whole gallon a day) and I was peeing like CRAZY for a day or two, but ever since... the swelling is nearly 100% gone. I’m just shocked that I was told to drink more water, but by doing the opposite I completely cleared it on my own.
