I was super swollen from 32 weeks on. I took of my rings around 30 weeks. Second pregnancy I had zero swelling </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162633 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 15:28:36 +0000 JessKas 2162633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By 30 weeks I stopped wearing my rings. The last month I could only wear flip flops and my fingers were fat little sausages. I had a LOT of swelling in the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162570 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:52:28 +0000 littlebug 2162570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some swelling in my feet during the 3rd trimester, but I worked in a hospital so the nurses hooked me up with compression stockings. I had to take my rings off at about 35-36 weeks. But after delivery? Woah. Staypuft Marshmallow up in here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162559 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:48:37 +0000 kayakgirl73 2162559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My feet and lower legs have been swelling for a at least a month if not longer and I'm 27 weeks exactly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162498 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:07:58 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2162498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first, yes. Around 34 weeks my feet started to get swollen. My face also got pretty swollen looking toward the end, too. I think I took my rings off around 34/35 weeks.</p> <p>My second, not at all. I never had to take off my rings and my ankles stayed very small. ;)</p> <p>My close girlfriend swelled so much during her pregnancy that she gained 75 pounds and by the time she was 35 weeks, even her husband's shoes were so tight. The poor thing literally had to go to the grocery store wearing her husband's shoes, untied. I can't even imagine. Luckily, she lost it all really quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162461 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 13:47:21 +0000 ineebee 2162461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My hands and feet/ankles. It was ugly. I couldn't wear my rings, and my feet went up about 1.5 sizes! I think it started around week 26-28. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162446 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 13:38:28 +0000 Caly 2162446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My feet started swelling around 30 or so weeks (maybe a bit before) and progressively got worse. To the point I could barely even get flip flops on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162444 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 13:34:48 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2162444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once I hit my 3rd trimester with LO #1, I would swell when I went for my walks. I was pregnant during the summer and due in September, so I expected that. My feet were good until I got to about 7.5 months. For a full month, my ankles and feet were huge. Then, suddenly, the swelling went down and I had my ankles back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162403 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 13:18:11 +0000 Alivoo01 2162403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Late into my pregnancy like at 32+ weeks? DS was born in July and I live in Texas so the heat comes at us fast and high early on. So that didn't help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162305 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 12:44:18 +0000 sarac 2162305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my first pregnancy? Barely a tiny bit, right at the end. I gained 12 pounds with that pregnancy, and I've never felt slimmer. I had to switch to a ring two sizes smaller than my wedding ring. I was also induced for low fluid, so I think that placenta was just nuts about clearing fluid. </p> <p>This pregnancy is the total opposite. Trouble with swelling starting in the first trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162281 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 12:39:04 +0000 ValentineMommy 2162281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hands are definitely swelling as it's getting hotter out, but I haven't totally removed my rings yet (27w). I'm praying that my feet don't swell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162269 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 12:35:42 +0000 twodoghouse 2162269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My feet started to swell around 30 weeks, but I went on bed rest at 32 and that the solved the problem. My hands never swelled and my rings fit the whole time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162268 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 12:35:23 +0000 jape14 2162268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't swell at all, and I gave birth at 41+1 right after Labor Day in the South! I took off my rings for bed just in case they swelled overnight but thankfully it never happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162265 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 12:34:09 +0000 Mamasig 2162265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My rings didn't fit sometime during my 2nd trimester. My shoes stopped fitting early on too. By the end, I had one pair of flip flops that fit. That's it. And both my hands and feet never went back to their original size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162180 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:58:11 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2162180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hands swell during my workouts, so I don't wear my rings. The swelling goes down after a few hours. My feet started the same exercise swelling at about 23 weeks. Otherwise so far so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162171 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:55:04 +0000 sapphire 2162171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes around 35-36 weeks. Rings stopped fitting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162146 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:49:21 +0000 bushelandapeck 2162146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS I didn't and I figured I would because he was horn in August. I did have quite a but of swelling with DD though, and she was born in October. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162138 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:47:08 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2162138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only my feet &amp; legs, but consistently since ~20wks.

I was super swollen when I was pregnant, it was miserable. By the end I couldn't even wear shoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162128 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:44:07 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2162128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only noticed my feet swelling 2x. (knock on wood!) And it started last week. (27w.) It seems to only happen if I'm on my feet all day, or sitting for a long time. Like, last night we went to the movies. We saw Avengers and it was like, 2.5 hours long, plus I had a ton of popcorn (salt!) So my feet were pretty swollen by the end of the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162088 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:33:27 +0000 mediagirl 2162088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, probably happened around 5 months. Rings came off pretty early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162083 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:32:12 +0000 snowjewelz 2162083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hands - Not enough to take off rings</p> <p>Feet - Slightly but fit into all shoes still </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162080 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:30:54 +0000 marionberry 2162080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some minor swelling in my feet and hands with ds1 but I had very extreme swelling in my feet starting about 35 weeks with the twins.

I couldn't wear my rings by 24 weeks and couldn't wear any of my shoes soon thereafter. Had to buy a size up, and by the end, those didn't fit either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162071 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:28:32 +0000 FaithFertility 2162071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ughhh I had extreme edema in my feet and legs awful started around 26 weeks and got sooo bad </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162046 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:17:33 +0000 LindsayInNY 2162046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hands and feet have been swelling. I just took my wedding rings off, just shy of 32 weeks. The feet just started swelling a week or two ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162042 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:13:05 +0000 Torchwood 2162042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine have been at night. I think because I'm getting hot then. I've stopped wearing my rings to bed for a couple weeks now. (Currently 25w. Last time I did stop wearing them entirely, but not till later. For what it's worth, both of mine are summer pregnancies, and it's very hot and humid here. My hands swell not pregnant at times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-hands-or-feet-swell-during-pregnancy#post-2162039 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:10:05 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2162039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hands swelled toward the end of the day starting around 20 weeks. My ankles and feet got swollen at the end of the day starting sometime in the third tri. </p>
