so if you didnt read my other post I went in today because of my legs being purple and hurting and drinking too much water and gaining 7 lbs in a week....anyways they sent me home blah blah blah, the reason for this post is because i have been sitting here doing homework and my ankles felt warm and tingly.  i looked and they are now swollen and WHITE like pale pale white (but still purple on the calfs)! they haven't been swollen at all the whole pregnancy and today at the dr's she checked them cuz of the purple thing....wtf? should i be worried about sudden swelling? should i call them maybe?  i have nobody else to ask so hopefully someone is on and reads this soon.....

i have bad swelling - but not like purple - just swollen ankles and now the tops of my feet are swollen and they tell me the same thing. And I have a great DR - but she has never really looked at them. I think they are more concerned with swelling if you have a trace of protein in your urine or if you blood pressure if high b/c that could be a sign of pre-eclampsia. Maybe your other tests do not indicate pre-e. But if you are super nerv - go to ER. Hang in there !

I would call L&D immediately...or your dr. Or go to the ER. It sounds like really bad edema...
