I also had swelling during my first pgcy. It was BAD from about 20wks on and I was constantly being told I had "toxicity of pgcy" by women who didn't know my history. Anyway, I ignored them and just tried to make myself comfy. At 37wks I had protien in my urine and hence had PE. My message to everyone with bad swelling is just to watch it. I know with some MW clinics, you're in and out so fast they hardly seem to notice you. As long as you are being monitored swelling isn't a huge issue. If you have spots in front of ur eyes or bad headaches ring and get checked. Better to be safe than sorry.
Kristi, I def think you should get ur BP checked again. I hope it's nothing serious and simply being back on the meds helps out (if needed). I wish you all H & H pgcies!
