Okay moms- real quick please!!
Earlier this afternoon/evening my legs (especially my feet) swelled up pretty good and I've been having contractions since about 9 anywhere from 4-7 minutes apart. They're short, definitely not labor contractions, but I don't know if I should be worried. I'm not having any other problems, but I keep seeing stuff about preeclampsia and it's kind of freaking me out a little, but if it's just coincidence I don't wanna worry about it. I was just gonna go in tomorrow morning if I'm still swollen.

Okay I'm gonna tell you exactly what the nurse told me when this happened. Drink a glass of cold water, lay down on your left side with pillows under your belly and between your hips. You can have one under your feet as well for the swelling . Lay there for an hour. If you have 4 or more contractions in that hour go to the hospital . Keep in mind if you start getting dizzy with a headache and you start to see spots or your vision starts to blur , don't even wait the hour go straight to the hospital .

Your contractions can be Braxton hicks. But it's always best to get checked since Ur 35 weeks. Maybe Ur body is preparing itself for the next few weeks

I had preeclampsia and delivered my son early because my life was at risk. If u have a bp machine.. Check ur blood pressure at home. Otherwise make an appt with Ur doc first thing Tom and get Ur bp checked and a 48 hour urine test. It'll let the doc know if it's something serious . I'm sure Ur fine tho because Ur symptoms aren't that bad, the norms in pregnancy. Don't stress abt it
