Hi,

UPDATE

Well my swelling was a bad sign. Yesterday i felt so off colour and tired and kept getting black spots and headaches. I went to clinic first thing this morning and discovered i had had a massive weight gain of 3.2kg in 2 wks. As soon as i told my OB she went straight to my ankles to check for swelling (which they were nothing on what they were yesterday) and could straight away see they are swollen. My BP had gone up so she told me to go straight home and take my meds.

She tested me for a whole heap of things both blood and urine and if i have any concerns at all gave me the direct number to ring at the hospital. I have to eat a high protein diet for the next week to try and bring down the swelling she said (never heard of that before but thats what she said).

Thanks for all your replies, it was much appreciated.

Blackbird- Get your BP checked asap, let us know how you go.
