Seem to be having major issues with swollen ankles and feet.....I know that swollen ankles/feet/hands/face can be a pre-cursor to preeclampsia, and Im heading off to the docs tomorrow to get checked out, but Im wondering if swelling can just happen because you are pregnant, no other reason, IYKWIM? I had some ankle swelling in my second pregnancy 10 years ago, but that happened in the last 2 weeks of pregnancy and it certainly wasnt as bad as what Im experiencing now.
With this lot, it started about a week ago and would only come about if I had been on my feet a lot (ie: housework, chasing around DD!!), but this morning I woke up with them and despite me elevating them and keeping off my feet as much as I can, they still havent gone down ...have resorted to bare feet and wearing thongs when out and about (not pleasant in this cold Melb. weather!)....
Never had any probs with blood pressure EVER...
ANyways, I would appreciate any feedback or anybody else who is having this issue.
