Swollen ankles

[jenken82]

Hi everyone,

Now I know it’s normal to have some swelling in you feet and ankles during pregnancy, but what’s normal?

I’m 36 weeks today and since Friday my feet and ankles have just ballooned, is it normal for this to happen so quickly and when should I be concerned

Mine where awful when I was crying my 1st born I was in so much pain with them too and when you pressed on them you would leave an indentation, I went to midwife and basically said as long as my blood pressure etc is fine not to worry and drink plenty of water, however please make sure you discuss this with your midwife or if your worried ring them it’s what they are there for, my swelling didn’t go either until around 6weeks after having my son xxx
