I've not really experienced swelling in pregnancy but today and the last few days in noticing it in my hands and feet, I don't have any other signs of ore eclampsia so in not too worried I just wondered if swelling on its own can be bad or is it just the perks of having a teo year old and being pregnant?
I don't have to be walking for a long time to notice it and when I rest for a while it goes down again.

I've been getting it too, mainly feet and ankles, mw said it was nothing to worry about without high blood pressure, other symptoms etc, i would put your feet up and see if it eases, and mention it at your next appt x

I had quite swollen calves and ankles with both of mine. It was worse when I'd been sat at work. Put your feet up and get Jody to massage them with some cool foot cream! Xxx
