So weird!!!<br /> Thanks all for chiming in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swelling-at-6-weeks#post-2028446 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 11:35:10 +0000 sarac 2028446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really struggling with salt induced water retention. It's not making me look swollen, but it's inflating my weight. I eat a fair bit of salt, but prepregnancy I had cut it down to the point where I'd get low blood pressure if I cut back any further. Now, if I have a salty meal, my weight is up a pound or two the next day. </p> <p>I'm only 13 weeks, so I'm a little worried about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swelling-at-6-weeks#post-2028413 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 11:04:46 +0000 littleblessings 2028413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With number 2 the swelling started before I found out I was pregnant. It was also May and really hot out. We were also out for a walk when I noticed it. All those could be factors for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swelling-at-6-weeks#post-2028399 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 10:26:32 +0000 FaithFertility 2028399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had awful swelling from 16 weeks on...... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swelling-at-6-weeks#post-2028393 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 10:20:44 +0000 dc yoga bee 2028393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My feet became really swollen at 8 weeks, and my blood pressure was perfect. The OB put me on driving and walking restriction, and had me put my feet up while at my desk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swelling-at-6-weeks#post-2028391 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 10:17:01 +0000 artsyfartsy 2028391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a little bit in the first trimester. Mostly in my hands. I would just make sure to chug some more water and get up to walk around and get my blood flowing (I sit at a desk all day). That usually helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swelling-at-6-weeks#post-2028390 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 10:13:52 +0000 CarrieLouWho 2028390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night I noticed my ankles were feeling a little swollen. This morning it's my ankles and my legs... They feel tight.<br /> I feel like I've been drinking plenty of water, but I'll be increasing that today. I've also got my legs propped up, but I'm not sure how much of that I can do with a 2 yo.<br /> Anyone else have swelling this early? I'm just under six weeks so this seems odd. My last pregnancy I didn't have this happen until really late (36 weeks +).<br /> Thoughts??? </p>
