swelling!

Hi there ladies, I am 37 +3  pregnant with my 3rd child, I am experiencing a lot of swelling in my ankles, hands & lips. I have had my bp checked, which is fine, and there's no protein in my urine. Iv also been experiencing pain in a previous c section scar, have been checked and docs are happy but midwife isn't. Am slightly panicked. Just wondering if anyone else has had this. X

Its natural and normal to worry. At least you get checked occassionally so they can keep an eye on you. You are almost there.

I have literally been checked every couple of days and when I have a ctg everything IS perfect with baby. It's just me! I know I.should be reassured by docs but can't help but worry x

I haven't experienced that but am hoping the medics find the cause of thebswelling esp that its on your lips too. I feel a tightness and some pulling around my lgroin area am just not sure if its ligament stretches or c section scar. Am 36+ 4
