I have the same problem my calves feet and ankles are swollen for at least the last couple months and im 37 weeks monday

I called the doctor and he has taking me out of work my blood pressure is fine and I'm not having any other symptoms of pre eclimpcia and I made my bf rub my feet last night and it helped goes away when I sleep so the doctor said since it goes down I'm okau but would do blood work on me if I really wanted to I'm 36 weeks 4 days so I been at home keeping my feet up

Does the symptoms relieve after you sleep at night?

If so you could be looking at water retention from overdoing it.  Elevate and demand a foot massage from hubby or significant other.

Either way it's not something to screw around with.


How far along are you?

If it's leaving an indentation that's pitting edema and can indicate pre-eclampsia, get your bp and urine checked asap.

Elevate them and make sure you are drinking enough water. Try to stay cool.
