Some days I am faced with a slightly stiff feeling in my feet and ankles. I look down and wonder what it is that I see at the end of my legs.
This swelling (edema) is due to poor circulation from the pregnancy, especially when I am sitting at a computer all day, and when it is hot out. The baby is putting pressure on the veins that bring fluid back up from my legs, so it pools at my feet and ankles.
Fortunately, this will entirely disappear in a few weeks or less... yippee!!!
