swelling? normal?

[mrsnelson2010]

I know some swelling is normal during pregnancy. But last night my hands and feet just randomly swelled up? I havent had this issue this pregnancy. But its steadily gotten worse (i had to take off my wedding ring because it was cutting off circulation) since it started last night. Still normal?

I was pre eclamptic with my first but i dont remember if my swelling started like this or not. I just took a cranberry tablet to see if it would help flush out the excess water. But is sudden swelling that progressively gets worse normal?

I would call the hospital and talk to a nurse just to make sure. That way they can tell you if its something that can wait or not. Better safe than sorry

Now that i think about it i have decreased urination as well. Bleh. Guess im gonna have to bring it up at my appt today. Ive been up since 8 am and only gone pee 4x (very little each time) despite drinking 1 32 oz mountain dew (in attempt to cure my headache) 16 oz of sweet tea, & 50+ oz of water.

Drs office is closed and no one on call (if u call they say to go to l & d and the dr at the hospital will see u.) They dont reopen until monday but ive got an appt on wednesday afternoon.

If they are migraines they are

Aren't headaches also a sign of preeclampsia

Also have been keeping headaches. Ive got a new prescription to fill for the headaches that i will be trying tomorrow and if it doesnt help will bring it up at my appointment. It just concerns me because i know after being pre eclamptic with my first i am at risk of it again. It went undetected until my blood pressure was reaching 200/100+ and i had gained 13 lbs of water in 1 week.

I would definitely talk to your doc about it then. Good luck hopefully its no big deal.

You might want to talk to your doctor, I know that's a symptom of toxemia which isn't good

Almost 36 weeks.Nothing diet wise has changed ive only been drinking water lately. I just found it weird that just randomly i was swollen so bad i had to take my wedding ring off and that its steadily getting worse. Like my feet hurt and tingle when i walk and my hands feel funny when i make a fist.

How far along are you and any excessove swelling isn't very good. I haven't been able to wear my rings since I was 16 weeks
