HELP!!! Is it normal for my feet to swell at 10 weeks?

[AnitaRFrith]

My left foot is swollen.  Is this normal.  Should I be worried?  PLEASE HELP!  I'm only 10 weeks!

I'm 10 weeks and my feet swells wat should I do its my second child and I never did it with my first child

[AnitaRFrith]

My nurse called me back an said for me to elevate my feet. An if it dose not get any better or gets worse to call back monday an they will get me in to see the dr.  Has any one else on here ever had this happen to them?  

[AnitaRFrith]

would a heat pad help?  Or to soak my feet?

[abbysmommy4]

Just try to relax, wait for the ob to call back.  When you go home from work tonight elevate your feet and that should help with swelling.  

[AnitaRFrith]

yes I am.... these kids keep me on my toes all day

[abbysmommy4]

Anything is possible.  Are you on your feel alot during the day?  That could be another reason.  Being PG does crazy things to our bodies.

I just read a web site that said that pregnant woman swell when they don't drink allot of water.    I'm at work, I'm a nanny... An I was out of bottled water.  City water has a smell to me lol.  could that be why?

[abbysmommy4]

Not unless you are in any severe pain or the foot is hot to the touch.  If you don't hear from your ob, then go to ER to ease your mind.  I know I was very nervous when it first happened to me.

[abbysmommy4]

I would call the OB.  I am sure it is fine, but always better to call and ask questions.

[AnitaRFrith]

I left a message for the nurse........ now I'm worried
Should I go to the ER?  My OB is a hour away.

[AnitaRFrith]

should I go to my ob or my primary care dr?

[abbysmommy4]

Call the Dr. and ask them, that is your safest bet.  

[LauraB78]

Did you call your Dr.?

I know some women DO swell although I think it is more common later in pregnancy. I would just call your Doc's office and ask to speak to a nurse. I havent had swelling yet, sorry I can't be of more help.

[AnitaRFrith]

My feet have never swollen before.... Should I go to the dr?

[abbysmommy4]

I would ask your Dr. and see what they say.  Thisis my 5th child, so for me I have to keep an eye on them.  This is the worst I have ever had them in my life.  I am 23 weeks and it is getting worse, not the swelling in my feet, but I have what they call vulvar verscosities (sp?)  I had to buy a special belt to wear ( looks like a jock strap for women........lol) I was also told to wear support hose, but I live in FL.  It is just way too hot for that.  Best thing to do is talk to the dr and they can check you and make sure it's nothing else first.  

[AnitaRFrith]

i have a few but its not bad.  Should I be worried?

[abbysmommy4]

Do you have any problems with vericose veins?  When I first found out I was pg i noticed my right ankle was swollen.  I asked my Dr. about it and she said it is due to lack of circulation from the vericose veins.
