swelling

I'm swelling so bad I don't really know what to do, I'm 38+2 weeks and my pee is light yellow so I don't think I'm dehydrated but I'm seriously so swollen everywhere, my hands and feet are the worst! Anyone know if this is normal at this point in pregnancy or if not why this could be?

Sounds very normal to me. I always swell up bad in the last few weeks before my due date. Try to continue drinking lots of water and elevate ur feet. Avoid too much salt. If the swelling doesnt go down or gets worse give ur doc a ring to be safe. Take care

I just had an appointment Tuesday, my blood pressure has actually been kinda low my entire pregnancy and no signs of protein in my urine so I don't think it could be pre-eclamsia
