    Burning feet?

    Argh

    It feels like they are on fire! For 2 days now. I noticed this morning that my feet/fac seem puffy. Is this related?

    Might want to keep an eye on that babe, sounds like a few warning signs for pre-eclampsia, maybe check your blood pressure? Not sure, hope it eases up.

    The swelling coming on suddenly could be a problem, so if you feel odd in any other way go to the dr asap. I don't remember ever having burning feet, but I guess they did feel stretched and kind of hot because they were so stretched.

    I got bad burning in my feet from about 24 weeks onwards, not much swelling but if I wore shoes they would swell up soo fast! I was stuck wearing thongs for pretty much my whole pregnancy!!!

    Watch the swelling but just try to keep off your feet and ice packs wrapped helps with the burning

    a cool bucket of water might help as well, it's a horrible feeling, just keep an eye on it though cos like the others said it's a sign of PE

    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.
