wk 25 d2: im having a really hard time with swelling, hands and feet. last night, i thought my skin was going to burst open on my feet. i know my weight isn't accurate. It makes it hard to do anything, I drank over a gallon of water. I've avoided electrolytes, since too much will cause swelling, but today, I think I need them.. I've been avoiding weight lifting cuz every time I did, I ended up spotting. I'm restless. I need to do something other than walking. Tips for relieving pregnancy -based edema is appreciated 👍 if your a father, ask your wives, if you can!! I can't be like this the next 14-16 weeks.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Same rules for non pregnancy. Lower your carbs and processed foods and talk to your doc. Make sure it's nothing else. Feel better. You still need electrolytes. Track your sodium. Too much water isn't great either happy balance. Hang in there.

Ingest more potassium and less salt. Keep your feet elevated. Wear compression socks. Sleep on your left side. Massage swollen areas. Epson salt baths. Avoid caffeine and being out in the heat. Wear loose clothing and not tight shoes. Swim. And let your doctor know as this is a symptom of pre-eclampsia or eclampsia. Your doctor may have some other suggestions like meds.

Thank you both! I will put some of this into practice! Had a stressful morning with beagle escaping at 730a, we just got her back home 15 mins ago.

Sorry trying to comment again...
Have you been checked for pre-eclampsia? (used to be called toxaemia). Pregnancy related kidney damage.
Heh. I'm not trying to be a doom seeker, i certainly got edema when pregnant with the son which didn't go away for a long time - but if you feel your skin will split, that's a LOT. Go see the doc and just rule pre-eclampsia out. If you haven't already.

The swelling went down for most part. My left foot is still more swollen then right. Swelling is gone in my hands.

Ive reached out to my doc, I hope it isn't DVT, deep vein thrombosis.

Dazey- interesting! My right foot is more swollen than my left! My swelling has been off the charts for the last week. Skin itchy it’s so tight. Super uncomfortable. I think I am dehydrated though and not able to get that fluid moving back up. Been chugging electrolytes and it’s helped a bit. I am not looking forward to this last stretch and the hotter days to come 😩 interested to hear what dr says! 😘😘

Ash- it is possible to get too much electrolytes, so I've limited them to be safe. Compression socks do help, but takes me, my husband and a prayer to get them on.. 😂

I had problems with swelling my first pregnancy. Doctor put me on a salt-free diet & that solved the problem. But, that was 60 years ago, back in the dark ages, I would consult my doctor.
