So I am not sure if these symptoms I am having are normal or not, but I am starting to get worried. I am going to be 24 weeks on Thursday and have had really bad swelling at my ankles and feet. My hands have also gotten swollen and I can't fit my wedding rings anymore. I have also had this headache on my left side of my head/eye socket and comes and goes all day at random intervals for the past couple of weeks. I am really out of breath when I walk and yesterday I had to occassions when I actually saw stars. One was when I was sitting at my desk and I turned my head quickly and the other was when I was doubled over brushing my teeth and when I stood straight again.

I did go to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and she told me to wear maternity support hose, drink water, get rest, take tylenol with a slightly caffeinated drink to get rid of the headache.

My blood pressure is fine (I usually have very low blood pressure, typically around 105 prepregnancy and now I am at 120 or so). She also wants me to do the 24 hour urine collection for my next appointment (in 2 more weeks), which I guess is to rule out preclampsia. I also have had my urine tested and there is no protein.....

Do these symptoms sound normal? I keep worrying that something might be wrong, but not sure what to do.
