The Terrible Swelling...

So I've noticed my swelling at 35 weeks now. And I'm starting to worry. At what point should you be super concerned with foot swelling? I've noticed that mine can get so bad it goes up my legs, and to the point of no longer seeing my ankels. Sometimes its even hard to put my shoes on, or even keep them on cause they dont fit anymore.

I elevate and ice them down and I havent even been eating a lot of salt. Plus it doesnt matter how long I'm on them or not. I'm seeing my doctor Wednesday, and I'm hoping she doesnt put me on bed rest...

How bad do your feet swell?

Make sure you tell your dr it can be a. Sign of early labor or preclampsia and since your far enough along they may wanna go ahead and deliver. Goodluck
