Can anyone explain this? I'm going in for a Csection on Monday and I'm a little scared! A lot has to do with the fact that on my dad had circular problems in the leg! Am I over reacting? Is this just a pregnancy thing?

This whole swoleness is normal, but the pain isnt necesarily. I would suggest calling oyu ob in the am just to report the problem. Im sure its ntohing, but the same thig happend to me ans my ob had me do an us of my calf to make sure I wasnt having a blood clot. Its so much better to be safe then sorry, I know you say your having a section Monday, but it doesnt take long for a clot to disloge and go into your lungs. PLease just call and let the md know in the am, just to be super safe. I dont want to worry you, but I do want you to have a wonderful pregnancy with the birth of a healthy child. Good Luck, please call.

yeah its a pregnancy thing. Should be ok if you are having a c section on monday but I woud worry about toxemia. Have they mentioned that at all to you? All you can really do now is rest a lot and elevate your legs......remember elevating means put your feet above your heart.

This is normal in pregnancy. Keep the legs bit higher while sleeping, you can keep a pillow to raise the legs. Minimize the salt intake. Do excercises recommended by your doctor.

If they hurt you need attention to the legs to get them check out. A doc also told me that crossing your legs over a long period of time, I mean like sitting with legs crossed not for hours but for years also creates bad circulation in the legs, because my daughter does this and she is almost three and he told me to have her try and stop it because it will create problems in the future so you may want to watch how you sit.

It is a pregnancy thing but if it gets bad it can be a sign of high blood pressure and that is bad for you and baby so get it checked,other wise try to rest with your feet higher than you body ,put you feet up literally

I had preeclampsia (toximia) whilst i became pregnant-intense blood rigidity, protein in urine, swelling. the only component i'd desire to do in regards to the swelling became to maintain my ft up as much as available. I took an extra pillow and positioned it under them at nighttime. as quickly as I have been given homestead f/artwork my ft went up till I had to get waiting to bypass to artwork lower back. The discomfort is probable from each and every of the swelling. It harm as quickly as I knelt in direction of the mattress and the dr. reported it became from the swelling. draw close in there-you're only approximately achieved! If it keeps up they'd attempt inducing hard artwork in order that which you will grant and get extra desirable. I extra a 4 pd. infant at 36 weeks.

If they are swollen
You should
1- measure your blood pressure
2- measure the percentage of albumin in your urine , it is called URINE ALBUMIN TEST
You could be having pre eclampsia
You could also be having weak vessels , varicocele , thoose blue dilated veins on the back of your legs that extend up to your groin.
I would do c section in both

See your doctor it could be toxemia and that is nothing to play around with.
