Ok...so I don't want to freak out or anything but how common is ankle swelling? It seems to happen to me at the end of the day (I'm 28 weeks and still working as a teacher) and I can't even wear loose socks without them leaving an indent in the skin! I don't really have foot swelling and my hands etc seem normal (I can still get my rings on/off etc). I usually have low to normal blood pressure and the last appointment I had with my ob was 3 weeks ago. My mother and my sister never had any issues with pre eclampsia etc so I'm hoping this is just excess fluid from the pregnancy? I am drinking over 2 litres of water a day and going to the loo ALL the time!!! I just want to know how common swelling in the ankles is because I don't want to alarm myself necessarily. My next appointment is next week. Thanks!
