Yes mine get a burning sensation when they are very swollen, i think its the skin being so stretched.

Keep an eye on PE signs though.

ahhh yep, i remember this feeling. My feet we on fire for weeks at the end of the last pregnancy. I found raising them right up when sitting helped and putting ice packs on them. I feel for you, its not a very nice feeling. Oedema during pregnancy is quite common and most woman experience some kind of swelling during pregnancy. Your doctor might just want to keep a closer eye on you and your BP, urine etc. Unfortunanlty (sp?) I ended up with severe PE at 38+4 and was induced. I was swelling badly from about 34 weeks though.

How did you go today A???? What did the dr say about your feet and the swelling??

Still burning!

The Dr just looked at me weird when I said they were burning and shrugged. But my BP was high, mild oedema and protein in my urine. And headache. He sent me for bloods and monitoring. But the BP went down, they were going to send me home after only taking it once but I inisted they take it another time just for my peace of mind. After mersyndol and a sleep its still there. And they didnt tell me any results for the bloods.

I hope they keep a closer eye on you now A. PE can creep up quite quickly and needs taking care of immediately (personal experience here). I'd phone and ask for the blood results and also what it will mean for you. Take care hun and rest up as much as you can xxx
