My right ankle is so swollen. I'm 34 weeks pg and it's been like this on and off for weeks, but today it's really bad. Got it propped up with ice...just complaining, no question. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

My blood pressure is fine, the first time I had this I was sent to the L&D ER to check for a clot that was at 24 weeks. Now it's on and off some days better than others, it's just a pain and looks silly...I basically can only wear flip flops to work these days. [ Reply | More

wow, 24 weeks is pretty early for swelling like that. I would press your dr. to make sure they tested for protein in your urine [ Reply | More

i had lymphatic drainage work done on my legs at my last prenatal massage and it really helped the foot swelling (also 34 weeks). But then I ate pizza and they swelled right back up. I know its obvious, but now the effects of sodium are really clear!! [ Reply | More

i've had the same problem since 36 wks. my doc said it's just the weight of the baby pressing down on the lymphatic system to the right leg, since my bp and urine are both fine. she advised me to keep my feet up as much as possible and lie down on my left side for 15-20 minutes at least twice a day, which has helped a lot.
