I need some help! Every time I stand up for more than about 2-3 minutes; my legs, ankles, and feet swell to double their size and I get numb & tingly like they fell asleep. I wasn't worried about it when it was just random but now it seems to be every time I'm on my feet. 😟 I'm a little over a week from my due date, should I be concerned?
Thank you guys! I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow morning so hopefully he can let me know what's going on! 😘
@nturnerfl, @babylove1209, @pess83, @jlf240,
Mention it to your doctor and watch your blood pressure as previous posters said. If you get a bad headache, call your doctor immediately. That being said, I started swelling at about 12 weeks (only one leg!) and had serious cankles on both legs during my third trimester. It's very normal. Don't be surprised if the swelling is actually worse for a week or two after delivery. My water broke before I went into labor, so I was on an IV for hours and I swear the week after I delivered I thought my legs would split open they were so swollen! 😩
oh my well i had the same issue. except i got to the poing where my ankle was actually seeping fluid. painful as all get out. soak your feet keep them up when sitting ans make sure you mpve around every so often to keep circulation going. but as others have said. WATCH YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE! and dont be afraid to call your dr its their job!
The only thing I can recommend is to cut as much sodium out of your diet as possible and elevate your feet as often as possible
@missmary07, My blood pressure is normal. I just checked!
@mommy.to.sterling, @pess83, I try my best not to call my doctor for everything, but I think I might this time!
@jlf240, I live in South Florida so it's always summer! 😩
I had the same problem when I was pregnant. I was pregnant during the summer, though. My feet and legs were so swollen it was painful to walk or move at all. My doc gave me compression socks but it didn't help
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
@pess83, He said as long as my blood pressure stays normal, not to worry. 😊
