That is my thumb print in my ankle....or where my ankle used to be!! I gained 3 lbs over night and that is because I eat healthy and work out. I think all weight is due to water retention. My ankles swelled with my first, but I want to say I was about 25 weeks along when it happened. I am only 18 weeks now ?

Get checked out, as that is an early sign of preeclampsia... It could be nothing but my midwife always tells me to let them know if anything like that happens!

I have a dr appointment on Monday. I will let them know about the rapid weight gain and swelling then. I'm hoping it's nothing considering I retained a lot of water with my first, but you never know.

I'm gaining weight pretty fast too and I also work out regular and eat well. Water retention is what I'm thinking too - I still look fairly normal, a bit of a pooch and my rear end is bigger. But for the amount of weight I've gained I shouldn't be able to fit into my clothes, but I do!
I don't have swelling like this though!

It Should not stay dimpled very long after pushing on it. For sure get checked. I had pre-e with both of my kids and being watched closely with this one. Really important to pay close attention to signs. Ankle swelling is really common but watch for swelling in hands and face and abnormal abdominal pain. I keep being told pre-e does not start before 24 weeks but I always think it's best to be your own advocate and just really pay attention to what your body is telling you. Good luck and keep us posted ?
