Swollen hands/ hard to breathe

Definitely ring Triage to get checked out, as any signs of swelling can be linked to Preeclampsia, so better to be safe!

Yes for swelling in the hands for me! It was so bad for me that I developed mild trigger finger on the middle and had it operated to remove the tension on tendons during my first and this time the same but the other hand! Hopefully won’t need a surgery! Try using a wrist brace if you want less swelling or having your hand overworked!

Yes I went to hospital and was monitored for pre eclampsia.
So ring them ASAP.
I was sent home with medicine.
Mines my left though and left foot is like a balloon compared to my right. I had protein in my wee and a high blood pressure. X

Ive been having this kinda but with my feet.. not my toes but the top area of my feet, gets very tight like its got elastic band wrapped round it... altho this tightness and swelling when happens is late at night... mentioned this at my last consultant appt 3 weeks ago but they dint mention ne preclampsia.
As for breathing, i have asthma anyways but i am short breath alot and feel cnt get much air in to me at times... im 37wks today.
Csection due in 2weeks 2mora. 4th baby... not had these issues with others, i dont think

Thank you for your advice everyone x

Yes I had swelling in hands, feet, face and short of breath which lead to heart palpitations, dizziness and blurred vision. Definitely get checked by triage, it can be a sign of pre eclampsia and is often missed by midwives. I ended up being admitted with hypertension and baby was born via emergency cesarean 5 hours later X
