HI Ren,
Glad to see you are travelling along nicely. As for the swollen ankles and stuff, the heat and humidity up there would be playing a part in that I would say. From memory you live in my old neck of the woods and I can remember being hot and puffy with my second pg. Another lady mentioned lack of magnesium, and to combat this you could take a supplement called CALMAX (calcium and magnesium) I found it really good for blood pressure, swollen bits etc. I took it with my last pg and had no bp or anything. Mind you I haven't taken a thing with this pg and I am fine, so maybe it was just co-incidence Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi.
