For the past weeks, I've been gaining excessive amount of weight every visit at the doctor. Well, I'm usually a petite person who weighted 105-110lbs prepregnancy. And now, I've reached 165lbs. Oh my gosh... I can't understand what's happened to me. For one thing I noticed is that I've been having trouble walking because my hips hurt (not a lot, but I can feel the pain). My maternity clothes seem to be getting tight... I'm not eating that excessive (an average of 3 meals a day). Then when I started going to my doctor for my checkup, there's a huge jump in my weight gain. For instance, 5kg in 2 weeks. WOW!!!

And now, as I get closer to my due date, I also realized there's pain when I try to get up from a bending position. It almost feels like that there's a bulge in between my legs that's about to pop. (sorry for TMI) --- I mentioned to my doctor but she doesn't seem to be alarmed. I worry about it because I have really bad swelling now on my lower legs... I could hardly even fit my feet into a pair of slippers due to the water retention. Also, I've been having trouble getting in/out of my bed because of the swelling.

Does it sound normal? Oh, one other thing I should mention is that last week, my urine showed protein so I had to do an urinalysis because my doctor wanted to make sure everything was okay... well, the test turned out to be okay. Thank God for that otherwise I had to go back to the hospital and get some blood tests done... Did anyone get this type of swelling too?
