It's a normal part of pregnancy. Your carrying a lot of extra weight and it's hard on your body. It is one of the signs of preeclampsia so I would mention it to your doctor, but don't worry to much
Ahh, the joys of pregnancy. I agree with above. I would also add to cut down on your salt intake, drink lots of water and put your feet up when you can. good luck
I was about 34/35 weeks when my hands and feet started to swell as well. I've mentioned it to my OB and he just told me that it's normal during pregnancy. It should reduce and go away after giving birth. It's uncomfortable but just try to relax and not be on your feet for long periods of time.
Ditto! I'm 34 weeks and 5 days, just saw my ob a few days ago and mentioned to him that my calves were swelling. He wasn't worried about it too much, said it's normal.
