[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a ton of swelling last time. My shoe size went up about 3 sizes. You could see it in my face, it was noticeable to everyone who saw me though nobody said anything because they didn't want to hurt my feelings. My midwives also told me all was normal, and just to soak my feet in epsom salts. It turned out to be severe, atypical preeclampsia where I had kidney failure first without a noticeably high blood pressure. It could be normal, but don't take a chance, call your doctor, especially if you have had a lot of sudden weight gain recently. [/quote] PP here. I also want to add that if you have a feeling that something is not normal, just go into L&D triage. I'm glad I went with my gut and didn't listen to the midwife over the phone who told me not to go into L&D due to swelling and weight gain. Most women with preeclampsia have noted after the fact that they felt something was off or not quite right. [/quote]
