Borderline Pre-eclampsia and weight gain association?!
With my first pregnancy I gained like 20 lbs, but I lost it rather quick and managed to keep it off for 4years. That is until I got pregnant with this second pregnancy. Since March I have had significant swelling associated with a high blood pressure which is still borderline for pre-e. I have gained so much weight with this pregnancy and I am already PLUS size, my doctor has never mentioned anything about it or told me I was gaining or even showed concern. How many of you have had pre-e and gained a lot of weight? Could this be related to my swelling in my feet, calves, and wrists? Please help I'm a little worried myself!

@jazzi89 I have been wearing flip flops that are cutting into my feet where they are swollen. I tried buying new flip flops but after going to 3 different stores I had to settle on some cheapos from walmart cause nothing else would stretch and give in to my fat feet.
Thank you all for helping me out emotionally. I am a little self conscious at this point and no one is here for me to vent too. I think I just got flooded and frustrated by all these symptoms piling up while my husband is gone from home trucking. It's scary! My doctor has already approved to induce me at 39 weeks, but she said she isn't sure that we will need to schedule that induction cause the baby will probably be born sooner. [-O<

I appreciate all the feedback, and feel a lot better about my situation. I hope I do lose all of this extra weight and can't wait to do so only a month left if not sooner. I can't wait to be able to kneel down and bend over and wake up without numb limbs! I wish you all the best in your pregnancies and deliveries! Thank You ALL!
