  • Legs i mean
  • My legs were like that with my first you could push it in and it stuck like that for a bit. My midwife told me to avoid too much salt, keep your legs elevated and if it doesn't go away then it could possibly be preeclempsia.
  • Mmm marshmellows.... I believe if it happened w in 24 hrs to call the dr. not that u wanna hear it but drink more water???
  • Try a herb named cleavers it helps w swellung in hands n feet n high blood pressure
  • Please don't say marshmellows... your legislation and ankles sound delicious! ;-) JK...

    If you can get to a grocery store or pharmacy that has a self help blood pressure machine... you should! Swelling plus high blood pressure equals preclampsia.. drs will induce over it.
