ambielutz444`s poll Show results | Hide results


Pregnancy-poll poll i`m 33 weeks +5 days, i`ve been waking up with my hands and feet swollen. my wedding rings wont fit and when i stand and get out of bed in the morning i feel like i`m walking on clouds.. with my previous pregnancies my ankles only got swollen but never my hands and feet and they were always back to normal by the morning... should i bring it up to my dr. or is this normal?

called my dr. and asked to leave a note for her on if she thought i should come in early or wait for my actual appt. next friday and the nurse said i should def. come in so i have an appt. for tomorrow morning at 10:30, nurse said they will prolly do labs and i`m guessing to rule out preeclampsia so hopefully it is just the water retention and not anything serious! thanks for all the feedback ladies!

I agree with babydecember. It`s probly normal but mention it to your Dr. I looked like a balloon during my last few months of pregnancy with my daughter. Dr checked me out and all was AOK. About a week after I had my daughter I woke up one morning and it was all GONE! I spent the next week admiring my skinny toes, ankles & fingers because I`d forgotten what they looked like normally.

thanks, just kind of nervous because i have had sudden weight gain(10 lbs in the last 2 weeks!) and now with my hands and feet being swollen and uncomfortable i think i will call my dr and make a note of it. making a fist is uncomfortable and just tying my 4 yr olds shoe laces was hard on my hands....

happens normally near the end of pregnancy. you could try limiting salt in take that makes u retain water. i would mention to your dr just in case though

  1. If you DID NOT have a name picked out before getting pregnant, when did you finally decide on the name?
  2. Is it normal for toddlers to leave off 1/2 of words?
  3. Silly poll, just checking the odds.. for parents of 3+kids, did you have:
  4. Career conundrum... Opinions valued (particularly from teachers - but I would value advice from anyone). Details inside.
  5. At what age do you think it`s appropriate to drop your child off at a sporting training (not a school sport, a sports club such as soccer, footy, tennis, netball club etc), and come at the end to pick them up?
  6. If you saw a car up your next-door neighbour`s drive (evening), would you make a social visit (and didn`t know them very well)?


  7. So this is what the Tooth Fairy would be like if the roles were reversed haha!
  8. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  9. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  10. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
