Another question....

[HeppiBean]

I've only just noticed but my feet, ankles and lower legs are EXTREMELY swollen and my skin is being pulled very tight. I just poked the top of my foot ('cause I'm a weirdo like that) and it felt funny... Is this something to worry about? Considering I didn't really swell much at all during pregnancy.... xx

Should go away in a week or so! Try and keep ur feet up as much as you can x

Like littlemiss said try and keep legs raised as much as possible.

I was the opposite. I swelled so much during pregnancy that on chrimbo day I tried to put some shoes on and could only get 3 toes in lol I was not happy lol.

Soon as Oz was born the swelling started going down more and more each day, took a few months to feel normal though and even now I'm not the same size I was, but I refuse to go up a shoe size lol. So vein haha And my old rings don't fit anymore either!!!

Ahhh pregnancy, it's such a beautiful time lol xxx

I wasn't able to wear my trainers or normal shoes for last 2/3 months of pregnancy, and I remember for a couple of weeks after, that feeling of binning the flip flops & putting my trainers back on was excellent...I was starting to think I would stay like that forever.

I'll defo be trying arnica with this pregnancy, i've heard its excellent for swelling, i've used it before, but not for pregnancy.

raise your feet up when you relax at all time

I got swelling after birth, got really worried as I weighed more than when I was pregnant - was full of fluid, I could feel it all over mainly legs, feet and fingers. It went after a week or 2, I'm sure yours will to.
