Huge cankles. I was pregnant in summer in Florida so it was to be expected. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-swell-up-during-your-pregnancy#post-157297 Sun, 13 May 2012 19:16:41 +0000 chopsuey 157297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 50+ but didn't swell. It's too early to tell this time around (8 weeks today!) but so far no swelling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-swell-up-during-your-pregnancy#post-157295 Sun, 13 May 2012 19:15:28 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 157295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gained far less weight than I did with DS this time and only in the past month have I started to swell. My feet are swollen and I can't wear my rings, not even the stunt ring! I have cankles lol and tubby feet. </p> <p>I think it just depends on the makeup of your body if you swell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-swell-up-during-your-pregnancy#post-157279 Sun, 13 May 2012 18:28:43 +0000 yoursilverlining 157279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had swelling for a few weeks, but it has been the kind that goes away at night and isn't bad every day. Since friday though, my ankles and feet have been super swollen and won't go down no matter what I do. </p> <p>I haven't been able to wear my e-ring or wedding band for weeks now, so I wear a dummy set and even that gets tight some afternoons. Can't wait to get my non-puffy fingers and toes back! (and ankle bones, too!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-swell-up-during-your-pregnancy#post-157264 Sun, 13 May 2012 18:01:46 +0000 HLK208 157264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just with heat, now that summer is approaching, it's so hard to get my wedding ring off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-swell-up-during-your-pregnancy#post-157238 Sun, 13 May 2012 17:27:48 +0000 pastemoo 157238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>gained 40 now (39 weeks) and super swollen, especially arms--my ankles are usually ok </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-swell-up-during-your-pregnancy#post-157237 Sun, 13 May 2012 17:25:42 +0000 skibobrown 157237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained around 30 lbs, and I didn't swell at all. The weather was nice and cool throughout my pregnancy though. I did notice at the very end that my feet and hands would swell a bit on hot days, so I'm betting I would have had more swelling if I was pregnant during the summer. </p> <p>I did swell up after my labor, but I think that was from the IV fluids that they gave me. It took maybe a week for that swelling to go down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-swell-up-during-your-pregnancy#post-157233 Sun, 13 May 2012 17:17:02 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 157233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katdevargas: Oh congrats only 5 lbs left to lose that is amazing!!! </p> <p>I definitely think that the more you gain the more swollen you get! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-swell-up-during-your-pregnancy#post-157230 Sun, 13 May 2012 17:14:42 +0000 IcebergMom 157230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 60 and had crazy swollen legs and feet. Yuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-swell-up-during-your-pregnancy#post-157194 Sun, 13 May 2012 16:38:53 +0000 katdevargas 157194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only been pregnant the one time, but I gained 60+ lbs &amp; swole up like a toad. I know that's country, but it's the best way to describe it, I think. I had so much water weight that I'd lost 40lbs in the first 10 days after I had lo. I'm 9weeks pp now &amp; am about 5lbs more than my pre-pregnancy weight.</p> <p>hopefully with future pregnancies, this will not be the norm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-swell-up-during-your-pregnancy#post-157171 Sun, 13 May 2012 15:35:06 +0000 Andrea 157171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 30 and did not swell either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-swell-up-during-your-pregnancy#post-157170 Sun, 13 May 2012 15:33:35 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 157170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember with Mavrick, I gained 30lbs by the end and slowly my feet were getting swollen. Nothing drastic (no cankles) but I do remember being extra swollen as in, it hurts AFTER giving birth for a good 3 weeks.</p> <p>This time around, I am ZERO swollen. Which I find odd. Maybe it's because I gained less weight? I wonder if I'll swell up after giving birth. </p> <p>Curious to know how it went for you. </p>
