Swelling & pins & needles in hands & feet?

[littlemiss83]

Hi Everyone!!

A week ago I had to take my rings off as they were far too tight, my fingers were slightly swolen but not too bad to look at. Today my feet are sooo itchy at the top of them and ankle. I wear black trainers all day in work and feel like they're really tight, well today I was scratching the top of my feet like mad, i even scraped away a chunk of skin, i put some savlon on and took my socks off, and the more I look at my feet i notice they're swolen too!!

And now within the last half an hour, i'm getting pins & needles and a tingly feeling in my feet and hands (worse in hands)!



I had swelling with my 1st, in hands & feet was never a problem although i couldn't wear my rings or trainers.

Anyone else had this?

It's not started for me yet, but had it quite bad last time so just waiting for it to start again, sure I was about 34 or 35 weeks last time.

My feet and hands are really swollen (apart from first thing in the morning when I get up). By 6pm my feet are really really sore but I live in Italy and it's been really hot here in the last couple of weeks.
There's not much you can do apart from put your feet up as much as possible.

I swelled really bad during the 3rd tri, but if you're ever worried get checked hun. It's never worth leaving it.

I was used to the swelling, but boxing day I woke and my hands and feet looked like balloons and I called delivery suite and they were great. Got me to go over for a trace and took my bloods.

Don' know if you've seen my thread about my cousin I put in the GR? Honestly, it's never worth risking it.

It's only ever a phone call and the MWs and docs know what they are talking about.

Hopefully it's all settled down since you wrote that and you're feeling better today xxxxx

Thanks ladies

Its hardly noticeable this morning. Felt like feet were pulsating & burning last night. I do alot of walking every day and thats probs not helped! My MW always asks about swelling, so i'll be sure to bring it up.

No Maria not read your thread about your cousin, I'll have a nosey today! (hope she's ok btw)

Thanks again
