My feet didn't swell till 32 weeks. Take rest. First trimester is the most crucial time. Try to change your diet. Eat lots of green

Wait.. The spotting has nothing to do with the swelling.. N the bleeding is normal in the 1st trimester as long as it's not a lot of bleeding (soaking a entire pad per hour) or having bad intense cramping or passing blood clots. U should be fine. The one thing a bit weird is the swelling on ur feet since ur so early along that shouldn't be happening. U might have to adjust ur diet.. (salt intake)

Wait until Tuesday. Urinating a lot more than usual is because you are pregnant, and it is completely normal. Spotting during early pregnancy is also normal, and usually not anything to worry about unless you have full blown period-like bleeding. Your ankles swelling could be because you are retaining so much water because of pregnancy, combined with the fact that you're on your feet all say. Elevate your feet as much as possible and ice them in the evenings. Talk to them about it Tuesday. Best of luck!
