Should I

Should I be worried about my legs are swollen. My mom said my feet look like I sprained my ankles. It feels like I have weights on my chest.

Swelling is just a part of pregnancy. If it stays bad, talk to your doctor about it. Mine has been so bad that my legs feel like giant bruises and i have to wear my bfs shoes.

Cut down on salt intake and stay home for a day doing nothing but elevating your feet. Same thing happened with me when I was about 34 weeks pregnant, my feet and legs were swollen and it hurt to walk. Just drink water and relax.

I don't do much pretty much me and my kids sleep all day. They do get up and play while I'm sitting. The pain in my legs are sharp. I'm 26 weeks and  3days.

My legs, ankles, and feet are constantly swollen to the point that I can't really wear shoes or socks. And even if I elevate it doesn't always get better. Make sure you mention it to your doctor but unless it gets to the point that you can't walk I wouldn't worry too too much

You should rest now, drink water, elevate your feel to heart level and cut back on sodium, try doing it around noon and evening

It can go either way. My best friend had to be induced because of complications they found due to the swelling.  I'd set an appointment
