My legs are swollen and I'm only 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant
As most of you know I'm 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant with my 2nd baby. I had
swelling
Abdomen - swollen
Ankle sprain swelling
Breast - premenstrual tenderness and swelling
Foot, leg, and ankle swelling
Gums - swollen
Joint swelling
Mastoiditis - redness and swelling behind ear
Scrotal swelling
Swelling
Foot swelling
with my son that started at 7 weeks. But it was never this bad. My left leg is almost twice the size as my right leg. My legs are achy too. They never bothered me with my son. Should I be concerned?

I agree with nickie - call your doctor and let them know. A leg that is double the size of the other warrants some medical advice.
