Swelling

So Im 37 weeks today and I know swelling is normal especially since its August in south Florida. But I thought once I got off my feet and went to bed it would go down. My left foot is worse than my right foot and is still swollen when I woke up this AM. Not as swollen but not normal.

You need to call your doctors office immediately. It could be nothing but you could also have what's called preclampsia. At the very minimum you need your blood pressure checked. Also, do you have edema anywhere else on the body? Good luck.
