I'm 7 days pp and never had any issues with swelling until today: my right ankle/leg are pretty swollen but my left leg is normal. Nothing else appears to be swollen. Is this normal or should I be concerned about a clot or something? I am not having any pain. It's Friday evening so there isn't really anyone to call - just urgent care or ER.....

I would go to urgent care to check for a clot. I think asymmetrical means it should be checked asap.
-
I would get checked or at least call my on call OBGYN
-
Get checked! This happened to me in my 2nd tri and my OB sent me for an ultrasound ASAP. The ultrasound was no big deal and it turns out it was fine. But, it could be a sign of a blood clot.
-
Definitely get it checked out! If you're not having any pain it's unlikely a clot but just in case.
-
Happened to me in third trimester, you need to get checked! Good luck!
-
Thanks, ladies. I have a call into the on-call OB.
-
I hope it's nothing but, yeah, agree with the others - they might do an ultrasound to check for a clot.
-
Just go to the ER. Don't wait for call back
-
Looking for an update! Hoping everything is OK!

@QBbride: thanks for checking in! Went to ER per OB and they did an ultrasound and no clot. About to head home now. Tired but glad to know for sure just fluid.
