Im due on March 13th..and having really bad swelling in my feet and hands. The doctor said my blood pressure was fine three days ago...and I'm getting almost no sleep every night. Is this a normal thing?

Yes, try to stay off your feet and keep them elevated.

if your doctor doesn't know about the swelling or you were not having swelling the last time you were at his office, you need to let the doctor know - & you definitely need more lying down.
more, more, more lying down with legs elevated - wish I could underline more. get lots of rest. watch salt intake and diet, and drink enough water.
less sitting for extended periods. lots of rest!
let your doctor know that you're not sleeping.
only a few days to go. Best wishes.

If this swelling just happened go to the doctor. Call your doctor and let them know that you forgot to ask a few days ago. And if you feel any vision changes, dizziness, or just a weird feeling go to the hospital.

You could have Toxemia. It really is a common thing in your last weeks of pregnancy. It can make you pretty uncomfortable.
Make sure your doctor knows,
if he doesn't already. Good luck to you dear, and God Bless.

you just need to keep your lower extremities elevated . call your ob-gyn and tell him about all the edema your having. also limit the salt intake may help.

You need to call your doctor now.
It could be nothing however it could be toxemia.
Which is serious.
Don't wait ....call now and see what he thinks and wants to do.
Best wishes
