Everytime I mention I'm swelling slightly or have a little pain in my hands everyone is like:
PREECLAMPSIA!
HELLP!
EARLY LABOR!
MISCARRIAGE!
Um...maybe it's just pregnancy?
Worrying is not necessary in any case. But swelling in pregnancy is normal anyway.
Swelling is normal especially at how far along you are. I’ve had preeclampsia before with my first and the symptoms are a lot more than swelling for sure. Never had it again but I’ve always had swelling. I’m on my fifth baby and swelling is just a part of being pregnant. I’m swollen now and can’t even get my wedding ring off. I definitely know the difference because when I had preeclampsia I also had a headache that wouldn’t go away, protein in my urine, dizziness, and blurry vision. You’re fine.
