I feel dumb every time I have a question since I am not a first time mom.. But I just have to know why are my feet swollen?? I am 2 days over due.. If thats any helpful information, does anyone knows what can be causing my feet to be swollen?? It never happened with my first, so I am worried.

    It's probably the heat & if you do a lot of walking. Keep them elevated and drink lots of fluid

    Mine are swollen as well. Mine get swollen during the 3rd trimester with all my babies from water retention
  • mommyof3girlsmommyof3girls
    Maybe just water retention? Could b a sign of high bp. Put em up and drink lots of water. Dont feel dumb asking questions. Ps... I hope u have ur baby soon and everything goes smooth. Good luck and congrats.

    @kiya90 yeah I have been walking alot lately , thanks

    i wasn't swollen at all with my first two, but my feet look like shrek feet right now- at 38 wks. unless they are way swollen i would say it's just end of the pregnancy woes. if you are concerned with sudden and extreme swelling call ur doc or go to l&d as this CAN be a symptom of pre-e

    @bigmamak :o ok thanks
    @mommyof3girls thanks, I really hope she comes soon. I hope is not hbp I had it with my first and they didnt let me walk or do anything through my birth.

    heat and if youve been on your feet or doing stuff.. you could be swollen from over working.. drink wate and put your feet up for at least 30min.. if you get sudden swelling in hands and face.. thats a sign of high bp..

    No problem!. Just put them up on a. Pillow or something to keep the blood flowing & drink lots of water. The swelling will go down for sure

    @survivormommie3 is not that extreme , but they are swollen enough for my shoes to be tighter :(, I am going to my doc tomorrow , I am really hoping it isnt high blood pressure.

    @janet_2011 have you tried evening primrose oil capsules to soften your cervix? Might speed things up so doc will induce u!
  • KareNLoveKareNLove
    @Janet_2011 is probably all that bb weight we have to carry plus Mayb is a sign labor is coming .my feet r the same way ugh I got piggy feets lol
  • KingsmamaKingsmama
    Aww I got stuck crouching in the tub last night :( thought I was gonna have to call my hubby to haul me out but soap did the trick and I wiggled my way out...only took a few mins too :) @bettymomma
  • Janet_2011Janet_2011
    @shayshay where do I get the capsules??
  • Janet_2011Janet_2011
    @KareNLove I swear,i wasnt made to carry all this weight, my belly is huge :(
  • shayshayshayshay
    @janet_2011 I bought mine at GNC for 9$ they don't induce labor but they help ripen n soften the cervix I read n heard lots of good stuff about it. They'll def help during labor is what my doc told me. N she couldn't tell me any side effects she just said they won't hurt u none. Good luck!!!

    @bettymomma just got out da shower n feel amazing ty :) n lol to ur comment! Hubby came in at 11 n said u ready to get out I gotta leave for work in a few I was enjoying myself to much told him naaa ill figure it out if I get stuck lol! But I got enough momentum to get up n out lol.

    I've only gotten swollen a little bit on my feet but I think its because I be on my feet a lot with this extra weight.
