swollen ankles

[pom04]

I am 34 weeks pregnant with twins and feeling like a bit of a wreck really ! One thing Im a bit concerned about is the last few days one of my feet in particular has ballooned!!round the ankle is the worst bit!I mentioned this to the doctor at my last few appts and he said not to be over worried as my blood pressure up until now has been excellent - but now this one foot in particualr is huge! Am I worrying for nothing! Im so big now that even walking is a problem so its not like Im not resting! Any advice would be good!

I get ankle & leg swelling from a medical condition so I know how it feels. We are trying to conceive our first baby at present. Some tips would be to have regular rest. When resting, elevate your legs. If you are sitting on the couch, elevate your legs on a table or ottoman. Or lie down on the couch to keep your legs up. Perhaps talk to your doctor about wearing compression stockings to assist in preventing ankle & leg swelling, especially if you are on your feet alot. You can get them at the chemist but I would ask your doctor first to see if this would be suitable. It would be best to let your doctor know if you think it has become worse. Hope this helps. :wave:
