Does anyone else have swollen ankles?

I know I've been told to watch them, but why do they swell? what causes it? - Probably a silly question x

@kiralouise2404, agree with the ladies. I wouldn't worry too much. I was swelling as early as 28 weeks, mostly because I was on my feet all day. Try keep your legs elevated and drink plenty of fluids xx

haha, its a build up of fluid under your skin. @winterbaby95 is right, by saying its caused by weight gain usually and it is very common in the last trimester. i wouldn't worry hun 😊 @kiralouise2404 xx

i have really swollen feet, ankles and hands atm. i think if you get just swelling its not serious. its if the swelling is accompanied by other things like high blood pressure that could cause problems. mine is just water retention. but if you feel like you want to get checked, ring your midwife up @kiralouise2404 xx

The weight usually xD Some of it is water retention too xD Mine swelled up at 38+6 xD Think its to do with the blood xD swelling is common in pregnancy and not always linked to anything serious like preeclampsia xx
