I have joked sometimes (when the swelling is super awesome) that my thighs are trying to eat my knees. : / But seriously, my feet feel constantly bruised and sometimes are so tender/sore. And sometimes those first few steps in the morning are so uncomfortable and tight, I feel like my feet may actually pop!</p> <p>p.s. Your toes sure look great! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shallow-complaints#post-260844 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:15:51 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 260844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: so sad about your rings. I 2nd the idea of chain wearing!<br /> I am camping out in my bathroom until the end of this pregnancy seeing as i'm in there peeing every 5mins or so, this should save me tons of time and energy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shallow-complaints#post-260836 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:07:47 +0000 Pipers Mommy 260836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I feel your pain on the leg/ankle swelling. I started calling my ankles thankles (thigh+ankles) when they started looking like this. Extremely painful, elevating them does nothing. I give you so much credit for wearing heels/hose. I can't handle anything but flip flops. </p> [attach=1668/12/m8v10z.450x600.feet.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shallow-complaints#post-260798 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 12:33:27 +0000 MsLipGloss 260798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't seen my legs or ankles without (ridiculous!) bloat for almost 4 months now . . . and my wrists/hands and legs/feet tingle constantly from the strain on my circulation. At least I have gotten over the feeling of thinking a bug is on me when I feel it now, so I don't randomly smack myself to kill *invisible* critters. :P</p> <p>@Highwire: I miss my rings, too. I had to take mine off at 30 weeks. I still feel a little naked when I leave the house in the morning. </p> <p>@MamaMoose: Exactly! I work in a professional office, and even though I know nobody would give it (much more than) a second thought if I rolled around in sneakers, I just don't think it's *fair* to not wear work-appropriate shoes. I am 37 weeks (today!) and still wear my 3" heels (and usually pantyhose, too) every day. I do, however, usually kick my shoes off when I am in my office, but still . . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shallow-complaints#post-260729 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 12:02:14 +0000 Smurfette 260729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be sad when I can't wear my either. I love my rings. On a chain is a great idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shallow-complaints#post-260716 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:52:27 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 260716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My current complaint is that I have to clean my kitchen. And it's hot in my house. </p> <p>I'm sorry your rings don't fit! I hope you find a cute chain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shallow-complaints#post-260709 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:47:22 +0000 MamaMoose 260709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry! I would be so bummed if I couldn't wear my rings. I'm really hoping that once I start swelling the temp will go down and hopefully cancel out the swelling so I can keep my rings on.</p> <p>My current complaint is that I seem to have carpal tunnel syndrome but in my ankles and feet instead of hands and wrists (perhaps that has a name but I don't know it). My doctor's suggestion was to wear more supportive shoes. I work in a professional environment... I can't walk around in sneakers!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shallow-complaints#post-260682 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:33:54 +0000 DillonLion 260682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: And ugh, I mean obviously you can tell my fingers have been swelling due to the ring situation, but my ankles are definitely disappearing also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shallow-complaints#post-260680 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:33:24 +0000 DillonLion 260680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: @Mrs. Blue: That's a good idea, I don't know why I keep forgetting that it is an option to put them on a chain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shallow-complaints#post-260671 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:30:30 +0000 Mrs. Blue 260671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would you ever consider putting one or both on a pretty chain to wear until they fit again? I'm not sure I would be brave enough to do that, but mine are snug anyway, so I'm sure I'll be in your position soon!</p> <p>It's sad not to wear something so important, but at least it's only temporary and for good cause! Also, I'm super whiny right now, so I'm totally willing to just have a pity party with you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shallow-complaints#post-260667 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:28:07 +0000 regberadaisy 260667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aww I'm sorry! What about wearing them on a chain?</p> <p>Mine were the cankles I got towards the end! That made me really sad, I never thought I would see a day where *I* had cankles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shallow-complaints#post-260664 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:25:39 +0000 DillonLion 260664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My rings have been too tight to wear since like 22 weeks. I miss them. I tried to buy a cheap stand-in set, but they turned my finger green. We spent so much time shopping for my wedding set and picking them out and they cost a fortune...and now they are just sitting on the counter all alone. </p> <p>Anyone have any cheese to go with my whine? Anyone else have anything they want to complain about? </p>
