  • Meeeee! Just don't let that leg/foot rest a lot! Keep it moving. And wear support hose!
  • @fate I don't think I'm ever laying down long enough besides at night. My mom yells at me because I refuse to lay around all day ergo..leg is constantly moving. It swells more when I am out and about.
  • Try support hose. They help a lot!
  • @fate is there any specific brand of the hose I need to try?

  • I bought mine at Walmart. I don't remember the brand. :(
  • @angeliaandme I keep it elevated at night and during the day when I'm not running around like a chicken with my head cut off lol and water has been a major must lately. I hate the heat!

    @fate okily dokily :) thanks!

  • Hi. I'm having the same issue now myself. My right leg is swollen some. I press down & it leaves a dent but not on the left. Now its tingling as well. I've Googled but found nothing really. Got to the dr on Wed & ima tell my ob/midwife. This is something new to me.
  • My right leg is also much worse than my left and mine leaves dents as well. It also us very sore where the swelling us bad in my foot. Wish i knee what wash goibg on
  • @ape7998 me too. I don't understand the tingling.like it wants to fall asleep. I hope it goes away but I'm still.mentioning it to the dr.
  • Its pregnancy edema. I was also checked for clots...they usually will check u especially if one leg is worse ...they told me is normal just the way he is laying! ! None get so big I can't bend them..just drink alot of water and put them up when u can. Good luck
  • I've had swelling in my feet and hands and every morning when I wake up my hands and feet hurt like I had been working them out or have artheritis (however you spell it) it started about 3 weeks ago. Is anyone experiencing this? Dr. Said it was normal as well.
  • @aihmommy my hands hurt really bad and tingle...dr said is pregnancy carpel tunnel!! Good luck
  • Good to know I had yet to hear that term... thanks for the info.
