yeah... I'm gonna talk to the OB today about it. I've been told to eat lots of watermelon, coz that can help reduce swelling... I eat lots anyway, and it does seem to help (I notice when I've run out). It's more of a kidney tonic than a diuretic, and can help the kidney flush out the fluids.
Fingers crossed my b/p is still good today. It's been 120/70 the whole way through so far!
If the swelling is due to pre-eclampsia, is it fairly consistent? Coz I'm not very swollen at all today, it seems to come and go. I'm hoping its just from heat. I notice it more when I sit in an upright chair for too long too.
Anyway, thanks dach.. will clarify what I can do with the OB today.
