Swelling

Hey momma’s/momma’s to be.

Im 27 weeks today and experiencing swelling of the feet,ankles and legs, my hands also feel sore when i try to grip anything, i can’t squeeze my hand really tight as it hurts to do. Midwife said aslong as it goes down it should be ok, but the moment i wake up my feet and ankles are swollen and then they get worse throughout the day and by night time they are like balloons. They don’t go down when i rest them. Should i be speaking to my midwife again?

Thank you 🩷

I would say so yeah, I’m 25w+5d, atm nearly 26 weeks, and I think I’m getting swollen feet but I’m not exactly sure. I would deffo speak with my midwife again xx

Yeh I’m the same. I’m at midwife next week and going to ask. The heat and being on feet at work probably doesn’t help my case. I’m 25+ 3 x

If it's painful, I'd go to them again. See if you can increase you water intake l, it usually helps with the swelling.

I would give them a call or try to book an appointment with your GP.

I’m 27 weeks yesterday and I’m the exact same it’s far to hot x

This heat is giving me cankles. Going to speak to my midwife at my next appointment in 2 weeks x

Has anyone started to plan out their first birthday yet lol I know it’s a little bit early but I like to plan ahead. I already have a theme picked out.

20 week anatomy scan for baby girl today 🥰💕🌷

So grateful everything was perfect with little miss baby, she’s right on track around 20-21 weeks, can’t wait to meet my baby girl! 😇🌸🙏🏻

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

Girl names

We have an Elsie and we nickname her “Elsa” like queen elsa from frozen

If we have a girl my husband would love a spin on “anna” without actually calling her Anna lol

What names are similar to Anna / could be a play on words?

I’ve said Aria but I don’t know any others
