When I was pregnant my ankles would swell to the size of cantaloupes. I called the Dr. & he said that was normal...BUT if my hands started swelling, I should call him back.

Sounds pretty much normal, but I would ask the doc, cause there is a condition that you can get that can be serious. Try to avoid salt and things that make you retain water. Sounds like you may be packing on a lot of it.

It could be normal, but it could also be a sign of hypertension in pregnancy. I would call your doctor and see what s/he says. Congrats and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

see your dr., sounds to me you may be swelling a little too much than normal, but forgive me if I'm wrong, I'm not a dr.
