3rd trimester or BTDT moms
Did anyone else "blow up" during there last few weeks? I swear, this entire pregnancy I was "all belly". Now all of a sudden for the past week I seem to have blown up everywhere else. It is really obvious. My legs look a lot heavier, and my chin seems to have doubled Please tell me this is normal and/or just water gain or swelling.
ETA ~ I am 35 weeks

Re: 3rd trimester or BTDT moms
It sounds like it is swelling. Look at your ankles, are they swollen? Make sure you are drinking your water, and watching your salt intake. Also, keep your feet elevated as much as you can

Re: 3rd trimester or BTDT moms
First of all, def tell your Dr. about it. Secondly, it's pretty normal to start retaining fluids at the end (last month). BOOO! Hang in there!

Re: 3rd trimester or BTDT moms
Just wanted to say feel better and that I'm sure it's all water. I remember seeing you at the GTG and you looked great! Not too much longer to go

Re: 3rd trimester or BTDT moms
my last 4 weeks of PG I double in size. I delivered at 37 weeks, so it was happening at around 33 weeks.

Re: 3rd trimester or BTDT moms
I gained 6 Lbs in 1 week at almost 38 weeks. It was all water. I was so swollen.
You still want your OB to check it's not something else.
