Should i be worried? *UPDATE***UPDATE 2***Update3***

Only the left side of my body is swollen.  Its really weird...its like really swollen though....I am 33 weeks pregnant too


Edit.  Okay so my left side is still really swollen and my right side is a little but not as bad.   But my ankles and calves are seriously huge!!  And when i press on it it leaves a indentation!  I don't know what to do but i am really worried


I forgot to add i have also been really nausea the past 3 days.  Does that have anything to do with the swelling?



Update:  Okay i am sorry i couldn't update sooner.  Before i left i called my doctor because i live an hour away from the hospital.  She asked me a bunch of questions and then told me since i do not have a headache and not dizzy and a few other things that i should be okay to wait till Monday.  But if i start to have other symptoms to go in right away.  She said to stay off my feet at all times and only get up to go to the bathroom and keep them elevated as high as its comfortable.  I am really sorry i couldn't update sooner my husband wouldn't let me get off the couch lol  Thank you so much for all being so concerned!!!!


So i have been checking my blood pressure all threw out the day.  My blood pressure is normally 90/50 i have low blood pressure.  Well its at 122/77 Now.  Thats still in the normal range right?  But if mine is normaly 90/50  would that be considered high?

I would call your doctor, that doesnt sound normal.

Do you have a blood pressure cuff at home?  You might want to check your pressure just in case.  If you don't have one, I'd call in and see what they say.

Also, try drinking more.  It might just be fluid buildup, and the irony is, if you drink more, you can get rid of fluid buildup!

I usually have low blood pressure.  It is always about 90/50.  I dont have a blood pressure cuff but i think my MIL does i'll call her.  It just seems so weird to be only swollen on one side

I had low bp till 38 weeks, mine was about 90/50 too but then it was 160/90 and jumped like that in a week. So I'd look into that as well.

That seems VERY strange, I'd call L&D!

 sounds like pregnancy edema that may have turned into preeclampsia, Is it on your right side? does laying on your left side for a while help at all?
