It's normal to have some swelling late in pregnancy or at delivery. Don't try to jam on your rings, try to elevate your feet if you can, and do some walking. If you find you're not peeing much, and you continue to swell, call your OB. But, don't be worried--it will go down soon after you deliver!
Congratulations!

It is normal to swell a little towards the end of the pregnancy.
But swelling could also mean things that are not good.
Since I can't see you I don't want to say "relax,it's normal", b/c I can't see exactly how swollen you are. Give the doc a call, he'll probably ask you some questions to determine if it's a serious situation or an OK amount of swelling.
Hope this helps!

It sounds quite sudden? Definitely call your midwife and if she's busy, the next person on your list. It could be simply excess water, but other things happen at this stage and that are more serious and they need to know that this has happened. Don't put off the call. Make sure they understand how quickly this has occurred. Best of luck!

It can be normal. Especially first thing in the morning. What you want to freak out about is swelling in the face and hands together. Its a sign of preeclampsia.
If you dont have issues with your BP, you dont see spots or have headaches or feel sick or have pains in your stomach its probably normal.
You should check your BP today, or go in and have it checked. Certainly call your OB if you're concerned.

Extremely normal. I worked with two women who were pregnant at the same time and due to give birth a week apart. They worked up until their due date and I remember as that day got closer, they couldn't even close their hands they were so swollen. Also, their ankles and feet were probably twice their normal size. It seems to be very uncomfortable, but is very common during your last stages of pregnancy.
I hope this gives you some form of relief- and congratulations on your upcoming baby!

its normal to have swelling..i didnt until it was close to my due date either.. one thing that can help is to ease up on salt and sodium..that plays a major role in swelling...good luck

I believe that you simply must move see the health care professional given that swollen breasts this some distance away out of your interval could be a symptom of being pregnant. My mother had swollen breasts on the establishing of either one of her pregnancies.

I think you should call your OB's office today and talk to them. They will want to make sure you are ok and that it is edema and not some more serious things.
