Ankles

[Rubys mummy]

Wore some 3/4 linen pants to office today, and got a few comments on how swollen my ankles were....I HATE my legs, they aint my best feature so normally wear long pants so I felt so embarassed as I hated drawing attention to myself I think they are just fat, as they are normally ....everyone got me really worried saying it might be pre eclampisa....should I be worried??? What are the symptoms???

That's funny Zoe - I've noticed exactly the same thing in the past few days and started to worry about pre-eclampsia too. Looked in my book though and it says it's quite normal. Apparently we should drink more water and try not to wear socks with elastic.
Not exactly glam is it?! L x

Also elevate you're feet to get water down away from you're ankles x

I heard that they're called cankles during pregnancy as you can't tell them apart from your calves...

I had them really bad with Ella and was worried about PE, honestly they were like tree trunks!!
