Bek, my mum is a long term sufferer of lymphodema. It was diagnosed while she was pregnant with my youngest sister (her 4th). She had a full term (4 days late) pg with a lovely healthy baby. As she was heavily pg during summer (LS is born early April) she did have some extra swelling in her legs compared to the other 3 pg and spent time with her feet up resting. Also a friend of mine has lymphodema and suffered with it during both of her pregnancies. Again both were full term, both were beautiful h&h babies and her only complaint was the swelling in her legs.

Maybe if you Google lymphodema you will be able to get some more info. If you do this please be aware that all the info will also include worse case scenarios. 90% of people with lymphodema only suffer from mild swelling complications. The other 10% have varying degrees of different symptoms. Unless your GP is concerned about complementry symptoms do not even worry about it. I am not going to list any so that you do not worry as if you had them you would already have mentioned them to your doctor.

Just remember whenever you can to plant your botty on a seat, and stick your legs up. You will be fine.
