Answer 1

While swelling can often be totally normal (especially in use females), it can also indicate a medical issue. Please see your family doctor for a complete physical and some testing. That is the only way to find out what is going on.

Some causes of swelling hands and feet are:
hot weather
long periods of being on your feet
hypothyroidism
poor eating habits (too much salt or too many carbs)
birth control
PMS
drug abuse
laxative abuse
diuretic abuse
varicose veins
pregnancy
neuromuscular disorders

Chances are, your swelling is normal and nothing to worry about but the only way to be sure is to see your doctor. Please get this checked out before you consider another pregnancy. Good luck!
