    I agree, go and get checked out.

    I was massively swollen with DS, puffy and full of fluid. My BP was fine though, but I never got noticibly more massive overnight IYKWIM.

    I also had carpel tunnel with him and I couldn't open up my hands with that. It's not pleasant.

    Thanks for all your replies.

    I went to the hospital to get checked out. They took blood and urine, blood pressure, and did a CTG and everything came back fine. The swelling has come down today, but is still more than i have had previously. If i get it again in the morning, they want me to ring and talk to them.

    I have an appointemnt on Monday, which will be good to just get checked again.

    My blood pressure has been good for whole pregnancy. Just had swelling.

    Last night i had couple cups of raspberry leaf tea (for the first time). Would this have casused excess swelling? I forgot about it when iwas at the hospital.

    thanks for your concern,

    Kate
