    Hi there,

    My face, feet and hands swell up constantly, but my blood pressure is always perfect so I just consider it yet another anoying thing about pregnancy for me. If you are worried, it's best to get it checked. Better to find out it's nothing than leave it and find out it's something. If not your midwife, how about your GP? I tend to worry about being a pain to the midwifes...but am happy to bug my GP

    Thanks so much for your replies, Ive added a bit more (not sure if you saw that??)
    I think im going to give my MW's a call..i did mention a few things to my MW at my appt yesterday (about the heart palpitations), but she overlooked it, and now after doing some reading i think ill call them up and tell them everything and see what they say.

    Hi Meg
    Contact your midwife.
    It could be nothing but it needs to be checked

    Hi Meg,

    I agree definitely call the midwife don't worry about sounding silly or paranoid she told you to call with those symptoms and you have them! Better to get it checked out and not have it than have it and not get it checked!
