Recently I have been swelling in my right arm and leg and my face.
When I wake in the morning my eyes are swollen shut but as far as I understand this is nothing to be concerned about as I am also a bit snuffly in the nose so put it down to normal pregnancy stuff.
My right arm and hand however swells very fast to the point where my hand is all purple and blue and looks like it is about to explode right off the end of my wrist which at that time looks like a joint of meat (very swollen).
It is painful and my right leg and foot usually flare up at the same time to the point where after it goes down and I get can my shoe off, there is a perfect show indentation on my foot!
They do both go down eventually to a more "normal" stage of swelling that still looks large but is a perfectly normal colour and I can bend my fingers again.
So what is this, why does it happen and is it anything worth worrying about?
My BP was normal at last GP check up so assuming no pre-eclampsia or anything like that.
