I feel like a walrus ... yeap, bloated & swollen ...

... doc said I am fine & that I have a lot of water, luckily the weather is changing, we moving into late autumn beginning of winter, the swelling seem to be better when the weather is cooler. Suprisingly I found that its not just excessive salt that causes water retention but the lack thereof too ... my, my, I have learnt quite a lot during this pregnancy! lol ... Any of you ladies swollen like a walrus? (Just not wanting to feel that I am the only one .. lol)
