I'm in SO MUCH PAIN. It looks as if I gained tremendous water weight around my ankles (sometimes they turn light purple so my oxygen levels may not be the best) and it hurts to walk. It even hurts when I'm laying down and not doing anything. Is there anyway that I can relieve this pain and reduce the water weight? I only gained 15 pounds during my last pregnancy. I had barely any swelling. This time I'm actually eating, and now I have guilt about it due to so much pain.

Keep your legs up, prop them up with pillows if needed. Limit your salt intake. Call your ob too!

Have you been tested for preeclampsia?

@debdeb1 I haven't. The only thing that happened was the sonogram just to confirm pregnancy when I was only a few weeks. I haven't even gone in for blood work. I know I have to get it done sooner then later.

@armani. You should definitely call your doctor and tell them your symptoms so you can get checked. You don't want to go to long without knowing and it cause serious problems for you. But for now you can take ibuprofen for the pain and it may help with the swelling and keep them elevated above your heart.

I would definitely recommend getting tested for preeclampsia ASAP! Better safe than sorry ! Hope everything is ok
