It's official, I've lost my ankles

[Jellymaker]

I have shcoking knuckle pain in the mornings too, it does feel like what I imagine arthritis would be like, by the end of the day they arn't so bad but then seize up again overnight. Luckily haven't had any swelling anywhere yet (knockwood) but i get shocking cramps in my calves a night and i have to leap out of bed and stop myself from screaming. Luckily hubby hasn't woken up to see me doing this or he would freak out and think i was in labour He already jumps when i make the slightest ouchy noise, bless him.

They'll be back

I found that swimming would help them go down. All that fluid is quite painful isn't it.

I get these cramps too!! And a couple of times DH has woken up in a panic! you'd think he'd remember that the exact same thing happened last time!

I've been noticing my lack of ankles of late! Oh dear. And my fingers are all tingly from being swollen. For me though, the cankles during pg were nothing to what emerged after labour - I found it difficult to wee during labour, and so I think all the fluid went to my feet and ankles instead! They looked like tree trunks luckily, by the time I was discharged 2 days later, they were back to normal!
