Pain and swelling

Hi ladies I have a question for you. I am 34 weeks pregnant and if I try to do things with my husband (watch racing, go to the movies, etc) I am in pain the entire next day. Anytime I sit, stand, or lay for a long period of time (45 minutes or more) I swell extremly bad! My blood pressure is fine but the swelling is very severe. Anything you might suggust?

I would ask your doc to take a urine sample to check for protien just in case. I read an artical that some people get preaclamsia and never have high blood pressure. Just in case. But swelling is normal though, unless it wont go down with propped feet or by morning.

I am also 34 weeks had have the same problem, my doctor tested me for preeclampsia and I dont have any protine spilling as of now but he said he did the tests so they would have a base line to follow as they monitor me for the rest of the time. I think a lot of the swelling comes with the heat I know when I went to the zoo my hands got so swollen I could barely open and close then and as for now my feet and hands are still swollen and hurt but atleast I can open and close my hands although some days are worse then others. Good Luck only 6 more weeks ;)
