venting!

I don't know if my baby went through a major growth spurt in the past few days, or just my belly, but anywho...I'M HUGE! I'm so freaking uncomfortable right now that I literally am about to cry. Not to mention that my mom drives this huge redneck truck that is made for mudding, so everytime I have to get in and out it takes me 5 minutes. Oh, and I was walking through walmart and getting such horrible stares from people, like they've never seen a pregnant woman before. I mean, good Lord, I know I'm wobbling like a duck and look like a bowling pin, but no need to freaking point it out. And my feet are so sore and swollen, and I'm hungry :( ugh. vent over.

yeah, you press down for 5 seconds with your finger, and then release. If an indention stays on your foot for more than 5 seconds, then they're swollen. If the indention stays there for quite a bit, then they're really swollen.

my brothers friend told me wenever my feet start to swell soak them in pretty hot water....
idk if im dumb or something but i cnt really tell if my feet are swelling or not haha i juss stare at them nd try to figure it out... cuz usually yu could see the veins in my feet popping out but sometimes yu cnt see them very well.. nd wen i take off my socks they have the dents around my ankles.. nd some people say if yu press down nd yu see like a finger mark then that means theyre swollen... but im juss dumb nd never really no haha

Drink lots of water and keep your legs elavated it will help with the preclapsia ive only had it once and it sucked!! Even when I would take my socks off I would have dents all around my ankles :/ if it gets to bad your doc might induce u early so be careful.
