ankle swelling?
hello,
im 32 weeks today and was wondering if anybody else is having ankle swelling.
Im on my feet for my job which is fine. Try and remember to elevate my feet when I get home and in bed. I am aware its a symptom of pregnancy....just wondering if anybody else gets it in one ankle more than the other. My right ankle tends to swells more than the other. If Im bored i make fingerprint patterns in the swelling...now im just sad I know!
Is it a symptom of pre-eclampsia...what other symptoms should i be looking out for? xxx

try not to worry about your swelling as it could just be general pregnancy swelling, but if you are worried or get any other symptoms that i have mentioned then get advice asap. try to elevate your legs and feet above your heart as this helps drain fluids away.
good luck. and take care.xxxx

My feet & ankles were quite swollen from about a week ago, so elevated them at nite on mw's suggestion and it has helped loads. I also tried to wear loose fitting shoes & no socks, so my feet didn't get too hot!
If you are worried tho, mention it to your mw so she can check u over.
Take care
