It's probably normal pregnancy swelling, but you might call your doctor just to be safe. It NEVER hurts to call your caregiver. That's why you pay him/her!!!!! Sometimes people worry about "bothering" the doctor or midwife. IT'S THEIR JOB! If you have a concern, never hesitate to call.
A certain amount of edema (swelling) is normal in the ankles and feet during pregnancy. You may also have some mild swelling in your hands. However, call your midwife or doctor if you notice swelling in your face or puffiness around your eyes, more than slight swelling of your hands, or excessive or sudden swelling of your feet or ankles. It could be a sign of preeclampsia, a serious condition. Also call your caregiver if you notice that one leg is significantly more swollen than the other, especially if you have any pain or tenderness in your calf or thigh.

No, this is not normal. Are you ankles swollen too. (I hope not.) The purple color in your fingers are an indication of lack of oxygen. The swelling is associated with excessive blood pressure. You need to see a doctor.
I'm afraid you may have preeclampsia. That could be very serious. You need help NOW. This could kill you.

i'm sorry, why did you imagine having a toddler at 14 turned right into a reliable idea? "you determined a toddler changed into all you've been lacking." heavily the position is the common sense, besides because the damage has been carried out i recommend you tell your mom. i comprehend it really is scary yet she benefits to understand. you're stunned about her reaction, actually she may already be suspicious (cuz moms are like that lol). do no longer I repeat do not get an abortion. placed the toddler up for adoption OR in case your mom helps you, she could even advance the toddler on her personal. pondering your so youthful and only a toddler your self, she's probably youthful sufficient to advance or help you advance a toddler. i'm hoping each thing works out, your in my prayers.

When pregnant a woman's circulatory system takes on alot more than its used to. By your hands being swollen it sounds like your retaining water. I would talk to your Ob/Gyn!

Please make an emergency appointment with a doctor or get down to the emergency room. If you have high blood pressure it is very very very serious during pregnancy.
