Please help.... my ankles and feet are beyond swollen. UPDATED!

What should I do?

UPDATE:

They are still really swollen. I went home and elevated them- drank a ton of water and when I woke up they were just as swollen as they were when I went to bed.

Do you think I should call the Dr.?

TIA.

I just took a picture of mine and sent it to DH. I can't believe they can get so big!

I'm not even as far along as you and I noticed the past two days that my ankles are swelling up now too Chat Icon

Not terribly, but its definitely noticeable. I'm trying the potassium/water keep them elevated stuff so I hope that alleviates it a bit!

Feel better!

Re: Please help.... my ankles and feet are beyond swollen.

I find that if I lay on the bed with my butt up against the wall and my legs extended straight up the wall, all the fluid drains pretty quickly, then I lay on my left side to get the circulation going. It's not always water retention, a lot of times it's blood all pooled up down there from poor circulation.

I would call also, just to be sure. If it's only your feet that's one thing but if your swollen anywhere else you may want to make sure you don't have toxemia.

I just noticed it yesterday too. I went to put on my ballet shoes and they just felt really snug. On closer inspection my feet and my legs looked puffy.
