Swelling

Hi all,

Is it normal to swell this much! My feet have swollen so much last few days and particularly today! My Birkenstocks almost got stuck! And now legs are swelling!

I’ve been the same this weekend but they’ve got worse today that even crocs are tight on 😩

Same here I drunk loads of water Wednesday being in the sun more and it’s gone straight to my legs and feet! Hopefully it’ll ease for us all when it’s consistently cooler

Are they sore? I've had swelled feet the last few days but today there sore like burning and I feel like I can't walk without them hurting.
I didn't no if it was maybe first signs of preeclampsia or just normal swelling xx

Same here I don’t recognise my feet. And they hurt a lot as well

I found compression stockings reduced the swelling completely for me. You can find them on Amazon

Make sure you all push your midwife’s to keep checking for preeclampsia! I’m now in hospital going to be delivering in the next few days as diagnosed with pre eclampsia something I had been telling the midwife for ages I thought I had!

So sorry to hear. Wishing you the best of luck, hope all goes well. Did you have any other symptoms? I get the foot swelling a lot but wearing compression socks keeps it under control & my blood pressure is ok.

I was swollen all over, had raised blood pressure but still within the normal rang. I had to point out how low my blood pressure was at my checking in appointment.

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
