Cankles!

[Brian's Bride]

One word says it all. My feet have been soooo swollen yesterday and today! I have them up under my desk at work, but it's hard to type and my tailbone is getting sore... Plus I'm leaving for Vegas after work, so there is NO WAY my ankles will be seen until tomorrow (hopefully)!!!

Lovely!

This reminds me - my best friend's ankles were SO swollen when I saw her a month before she gave birth. I had lived with that girl for years and could describe her feet in my sleep - when we went for pedicures I was like WTF! I would never have picked those feet out of a line up as hers! After she soaked them for a little while the swelling went down some though - maybe you can give that a try.
Aahhhh Vegas. :) Have fun!

:rofl:

This cracked me up! Thanks for the chuckle - sorry your feet are so swollen!

[Danielle9608]

Oh no! Sorry to hear about the feet!

So... how're them feet feeling? Are they sore as well or just swollen?

[Brian's Bride]

Not sore, just disgustingly big. I used to wear a size 7.5 to 8 shoe, now it's either 8.5 or 9!! Not that that's a big size or anything, just not what I'm used to seeing. And disgusting not because they're big, they're just weird and puffy! You can totally sink your finger into the tops of my feet. Eww! I asked the doctor about it and she said elevating your feet doesn't really help. I have to drink plenty of fluids and cut the salt out of my diet. I'm a salt-fiend, so I don't think that'll be happening! Also to stay cool, being hot only makes it worse. I'll survive, though!

I love salt as well... that may be why I wear a bigger ring size than Matt :) Well, you only have a little over 5 months left :D

[flyerso6]

just an idea.. what about those stocking things like diabetic people sometimes wear. Like wear them at night and around the house and maybe it will make them smaller??? just a thought

Lol, I know how you feel...

2 years ago I was at school when my legs started feeling tight. Every time I would stand up, my knees felt sore and so did my ankles. By the next day, my hips did too and by that night I was in so much pain that I was crying as I walked to my car. I thought it was an allergic reaction to a medication I had just started, and so stopped taking it. But it (legs filling with fluid) has happened a few times since (about 6 or so). Now, My ankles and feet are always swollen and the doctors have no idea why. Sometimes it gets so painful and all I can do is put my feet up in the air to get some of the fluid to disperse elsewhere. So I have permanent cankles :bbredface:

Oh my goodness, your going to finally meet your precious little guy in just a few days. I am so excited for you.

[L.J.Aguirre]

i did't realize you're expecting too. i remember at 14 weeks like you, i found out whether it was a hotdog or hamburger lol!

[Qtpie]

I am super anxious to find out the sex of my Little one, I have a ultrasound scheduled for the end of august, i just hope that the baby is cooperative, and not camera shy.

[L.J.Aguirre]

well by the end of aug, you will be around 19-20 weeks so the baby should be really active and kicking and should show you the goodies lol:o hellooooo contractions!

[Qtpie]

I sure hope so. Are you having contractions?
