Don't worry, sweetie, if all you have to do is drink lots of water, you have it easy!

ive had alsorts show in my waters and had some swelling at the end of the day she knows what shes on about

with the swelling they tell u to worry if it suddenly happens and its quite bad in feet hands and face and doesnt go down - along with high bp, one girl on here her feet were really bad but turned out just to be water.

she said my BP was ever so slightly high when she did it first.....
she did it again before i left and said it was much better!

sooooooooo confused

Hi Hun it's sounding all good glad lo is doing well

With swelling you should also be concerned if your not passing urine but I'm sure you would notice that xx

Hun don't panic your MW is giving you sound advise and make sure you increase the water and all will be well. I sometimes get a slightly high BP at beginning of appointment and repeat is normal. This is the anxiety u may have a little of playing tricks on your BP (mild "White-coat syndrome ") nothing to worry about, sit back and relax xx

I take a big bottle of water to work to drink while I'm there, and make sure I finish it and then I have more when I get home. It helps to have a target for me.
