Swollen!!

edited March 2011 in Third Trimester
Ug...my hands and feet and legs are always swollen! I'll put my feet up and it will go down a little but as soon as I walk for more than a minute they swell up again. This sucks!

  • I've heard that happens, hasn't happened to me yet...how far along are you???
  • I'm 34 weeks. It started really happening at about 30 or 31 weeks for me but thats also when the weather started getting warmer around where I live. How far are you?
  • That has happened with all my pregnancys too. I hate it! I'm in TX and yes the weather being warmer dosnt help any. It sucks!!!
  • Try wearing support hose like TED hose. They keep the swelling and vericose veins down in your legs. Hope that helps.
  • I'm in texas too so I know what you mean @wallieheadbaby3. Which part are you from?
  • Thanks @prayingformiracles. So fast I haven't gotten the vericose veins. But the swelling is certainly there. Lol.
  • So far* not fast
  • My doctor told me not to even put my feet up. That they will always just swell back. This Texas weather sucks. Lol.
  • Also maybe watchur salt intake...i tend to swell more the more salt I intake. And keep drinking water...hang in there.
  • I try to stay cool but yea, like you said @misty2011, this texas weather sucks!
  • @Jojom I'm in baytown. :( how about you? I'm 15 weeks and I'm not looking forward to the heat to come and being prego through the whole summer. Blah!
  • @jojom your welcome. I've already got a pair bc I'm on my feet 8-10 hours a day.
  • I guess I conceived at a good time. I'm going to be 39 weeks Monday. Sorry for yall having to put up with the heat.:(

    @jojom I soak my feet in warm water and it makes them feel better. Maybe you can try that. I get my bd to rub my feet sometimes and the swelling goes down a bit too.:)

    @wallieheadbaby3 were only a little bit away. I live near liberty.:)
  • @misty2011 yeah girl you conceived at a perfect time! Your so close! Congratulations! You live very close to me! Where are u having you precious lil one?
  • My doctor only delivers at the Cleveland hospital. It's about the closest hospital to me, so its better that way I suppose. The staff is very nice there, so that's a plus. What about you?
  • @misty2011 I'm going to deliver at the women's hospital in Houston. I love that hospital. It's where I had my second son and it was an amazing experience! Good luck to you! If you ever get bored or just want a new friend I'm right around the corner so drop me a line! :)
  • @wallieheadbaby3-I'm down by beaumont. I'm just so happy I'm not gonna have to be pregnant during the hot hot months.

    @misty2011- I soak my feet every night in a warm bath. Lol I love it. And my hubby rubs my feet any time I ask him to. :D I love that man haha.
  • @jojom rub it in girl! Lol that's cool though... I wish I would have planned it right! Sounds like u have a great man!
  • @walliwheadbaby3-Lol. Sorry. I feel for you having to be preg during the hot texas months. He's actually just been starting to do things like that for me this past month. Mostly since he's been able to see how I'm swelling. Lol. He says he feels bad for not understanding. I had him watch the business of being born with me too.
