swelling again

[jdreyn]

Good morning ladies! So, today is my due date! :) yesterday evening, my ankles & feet doubled in size, and my legs started to swell. My fingers a little bit along with my face, and deicded to go to bed and if I was still swollen this morning, I'd call my doc. Well when I woke up, my feet, ankles and legs look the same if not even more swollen. But my face isn't and my fingers are just a tiny tiny bit. I googled it and it said the swelling should go away at night....

I would call the L&D nurse and tell her what's going on,  they would probably have you go in asap to be checked for preeclmpsia

It has been high the past three weeks, but it had gone down as of.last Tuesday, so my doctor didn't say anymore about it. I still can't get hold of my doc, so I'm going to try again here in a Lil. Ugh.

Thanks, I haven't swollen at all this pregnancy till about Thursday so I called my doctor and couldn't get thru. im waiting a few more minutes & I'll call them back.

Swelling anywhere can be a sign of preeclampsia, especially if it's something that is out of the normal for you, a call to your doctor would be best, or you can talk with the nurse there, if they're concerned they'll have you come in! Good luck!
