Swelling :(

Apr 29, 2009 20:42

Hiya,

So, the swelling is getting beyond annoying.  My blood pressure has been normal at all of my appointments, so I don't really think that's an issue.  And my hands and feet do swell on a fairly normal basis, so I expect it.

But tonight, my right foot decided to swell insanely big.  Both of my feet were already swollen, and I only noticed this new development when I went to stretch and my foot would barely move.  :(

Has anyone else had this happen?  Is it cause for alarm?

I typically feel fine with the swelling and just deal with it.  I don't know if these random factors could be related, but, I occasionally get dizzy (when I'm well fed and hydrated, it doesn't matter when it occurs), and I keep having stints where I get overheated.  Our house is air conditioned to be in the low-60s, but I'll be sweating like mad and very hot.  It's only this bad in the middle of the night, and while it's recent, it's not frequent.  I still overheat a little during the day, though, which is usually followed by dizzyness.

I've had an odd time of breathing lately, too.  But I feel like that's probably more to do with baby and other innards impeding on my lungs' space.

Anyways, that's what's going on with me right now, and I don't feel like I have cause to be alarmed, but I just wanted to get your opinions, as well.  I'm 23 weeks and my next appointment isn't for another few weeks.

Thanks for reading, and I hope everyone is doing well!
