Lately i have noticed that my hands and feet have been swelling. I had pre-eclampsia with my DD over 5yrs ago. The doctor says it is less likely to happen again with this pregnancy but I am afraid it is going to happen again. Has anyone else had pre-eclampsia with multiple children? (did you have it with the first and second pregnancies) I lose feeling in my hands and feet alot. And tons of tingling.
I havent ever had it but the swelling and tingling I do get. Push in on the swelling and if it leaves an indentation for a few seconds then I would call your doctor but if it just pops right back out its normal swelling. Too much salt can do that. Too much walking did it for me. I never sat down enough. So what my doctor told me to do was for ever I think he said 1 hour I was up sit down for 30 minutes. He did it that way because Im home alone for this whole year. And make sure to prop your feet and just relax
I was thinking it could have something to do with my sodium intake. I am suppose to go for my Glucose test this week. It was suppose to be last week but things were busy. I was also thinking it could have something to do with me being up a lot and lifting a 2yr old alot. But it happened over the weekend and I was doing any lifting. So maybe it is my sodium
