Getting a little nervous about the amount of swelling I have in my legs & feet at the end of the day…

Getting a little nervous about the amount of swelling I have in my legs & feet at the end of the day recently. My mom won't stop talking about preeclampsia! Wouldn't they have caught it by now if that were an issue?!

@34466, should I just wait until my next appointment next Monday? I called last night & the ob told me "well because its swelling in BOTH your legs & feet, we're not too concerned about blood clots" I was like wellllll "what about preeclampsia..? Cause this isn't normal I feel like" she then told me that I would be having migraines and when I told her I do get migraines she just pushed it under the rug sooooo I dunno.. I feel ridiculous calling if it's nothing.. But it sure feels like something!

Trust your gut! I love nurses and doctors but sometimes you get the one that thinks we all over do it and it's no big deal. Don't freak out but def get checked out. Even if you go to the er it's better to be safe.

How you have headaches, blurred vision or vision changes, or feel like anything is "off"?

@kimberlyyyy, all the time. I can barely drive anymore & driving at night is absolutely NOT a thing in my life anymore. I get dizzy spells, my vision is terrible, and I always feel kinda "off"

Have you tested your blood pressure at a drug store lately? Because those things could be more symptoms of preeclampsia. I developed severe preeclampsia at 28 weeks with my second baby. =\

@34466, thank you! I have just hated feeling like I call too much or nothing's really wrong which is how my doctors make me feel if I call.. But I think I will go cause you're right.. Something just isn't right..

I haven't tested my blood pressure. I know my heart rate is always super fast, they've confused MY heart rate with my sons heart rate before until I made them stop and find his. I don't know if that's related to blood pressure or anything though.. @kimberlyyyy I'll have to check mine tomorrow

I just read some stuff about it on the internet & I feel like I should just go in! I mean the worst they're gonna say is go home and sleep it off haha. But I dunno.. I don't feel right. Especially with the way I swelled tonight! @kimberlyyyy

Prepare for the worst but hope for the best. I ended up delivering at 29 weeks because of severe preeclampsia and another pregnancy complication. If it will ease your mind then definitely go in.

I'm not even calling my doctor to hear them tell me over the phone that I just need to relax and put my feet up. Haha they are gonna hate me!! But if it catches something that a phone call won't, I don't care. Thank you @kimberlyyyy

You won't be the first patient to come in worried over something. Don't even worry shot how they feel. It's their job to help you. If you think about it, keep me updated.
