Hello
You did not say HOW over due you are.... or if this is your first child etc...
But if it were me , I would give a call to my Physician or Midwife right off.
You will want to be checked and have your Blood pressure taken and make sure you are not beginning to show signs of a condition called Pre Eclampsia.
This is very important. Even though you are late in your Pregnancy there are plenty of things that can still go wrong,,I urge you to see your medical professional right away today! ASAP
Better safe th an sorry!
Good Luck

Call your doctor. Swelling can sometimes be a sign of preeclampsia, but if you're overdue, then at least you don't have to worry about prematurity. Your doctor may want you to come in and have your blood pressure checked, or he/she may want to go ahead and induce you.
Good luck!

Check with your doctor. Some women get pre-eclampsia which isn't good. Call your doctor and explain.

I dont mean to scare you, but swelling is a side affect of pre-eclampsia. I dont think its normally just the face though!!!

call your doctor just incase you may be toxic but probally not.. Any time you are pregnant you should contact your doctor when something odd happens to your body!!
I am sure you are fine you are probally just retaining water !!!
