Elephant legs!

[nicky510]

I'm 25 weeks pregnant and my legs look horrific! Sometimes they swell up so I elevate them and it seems to go down but they have gone so bumpy and elephant looking! Any tips off anyone please?  X x

Compression socks, they were my best friend while I worked

Thanks for your comments ladies! Have been to the midwife,  blood pressure and everything was ok, cut down sodium and had my feet up more- seen a definite improvement!  X x

Do you work on your feet?  I do but I didn't notice any major swelling until a few weeks ago (I'm 37 weeks and have a bad case of elephantitis lol).  Everyone's different but definitely ask about preeclampsia and watch your blood pressure.

I agree. Could be pre-eclampsia. Start by lowering your sodium intake immediately!

I'm seeing the midwife tomorrow so will ask her, thanks x x

Please see a doctor ASAP.  You might have pre - eclampsia. ....
