[Momma786]

I m ftm, 20-4 weeks my feets are swollen since 2-3 days specially my left feet. I cant walk properly when i wake up in the morning also for the whole day i cant stand continuously. Though i have my dr's appointment tomorrow... Still wanted to ask u ladies to share any of ur similar experience. I m worried coz i havr heard it normally occurs from 7th month of pregnancy and i have started in just 20 weeks (5th month about to complete). Plz advice. Thnx

Yeah its very difficult to avoid salt hehe... but wl now avoid in my food. Yesterday i drank ample water for swelling....
Hope my bp is normal when i got to my dr. But since 15days sometimes i feel like fainting but medhelp app says symptoms of 19weeks are fainting, backpain, etc so was not worried. Now i think is my bp low for which i was feeling like fainting? :(

Agree with rock rose, I suffered swelling in my lower legs and ankles in my first pregnancy from about 26 or 28 weeks and from there he checked me for other signs of pre eclampsia, I ended up with pregnancy induced hypertension the difference between the two is that I didn't need to be medicated to keep my blood pressure under control.

Babyonboard24 did it start recently for u? As i have heard to avoid salt intake as much as u can since 7th mnth for swelling. Butbi worried cozbi m just 20 weeks and have started feet swelling.

ash,  it's great that you have a doctor's appointment tomorrow.  Your doctor will probably check your urine for protein and examine you for pre-eclampsia.  Glad you don't have to wait to be seen -
