How much swelling is too much?

Question

I don’t remember swelling much with my other three kids but my feet and legs are super swollen this past week. Enough that if I press on them they stay indented for several minutes. I drink 80-100oz of water a day. (I could probably rest more and put them up but ya know, 3 kids) 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ 
I’m 5’4” and normally 140lbs (155lbs right now) ... I usually have super bony feet. I don’t have a before shot.

Answer

Answer

I’ve been swelling a lot lately too. My shoes leave marks and I try to sit down to elevate. Yesterday they started to swell into my legs too.

Answer

Change your diet ! Have a low sodium diet and it’ll bring the swelling down a lot !! My last appointment my BP was a little high and my doctor made me change my diet and ever since I’ve had little to no swelling and now we’re just waiting on my results for preeclampsia

Answer

As long as your blood pressure is good, you should be fine. Mine swelled like that with my first pregnancy, and my bp was good. Everything turned out fine.

Answer

I’d call the OB/midwife and ask, considering the indentations remain for a period of time. Good luck!! 💕💕

Answer

Do you happen to have a blood pressure cuff just to confirm your BP?

Answer

I have the same problem 😭😭😭 idk what to do anymore
