QUESTION: So my last pregnancy I gained 80lbs. I retained a lot of water and started swelling around 5 months! Well I went to Houston this weekend and I noticed my feet we swollen when I got home. It was a 4 hour car ride. Then I work strength and conditioning camp on at the high school football field from 7-9a four days a week. I live in Texas so the heat is serious. When I left I noticed my fingers were swollen but after I came home and napped they were normal. Should I call my doctor? Or just chalk it up to the trip and the heat?

My midwife has me take dandelion and I haven't swelled sense. I'm sure the heat doesn't help, I hope your swelling goes down soon!

@kris2012, I just don't want to be heavy again! Thanks for the advice

oh also with such a long trip its good to get out and walk for at least 15 minutes every hour half to two hours. because your body is circulating so much more blood it is very very easy for you to get blood clots in your legs.

@summerrae, thanks! We are going to drive to New Orleans in two weeks so that will make our trip longer but hopefully more tolerable!
