When to call Dr. about swelling?

I read the swelling post and am definately in the same boat. The issue is that my feet, ankles and knees have almost doubled in size over the past 5 days. It hurts to walk, I can't bend at the knees to squat, and I can't even get shoes or socks on my feet. Last night DH saw my feet and says he has never seen anyone with swollen feet like mine unless they had broken a bone. My feet are so swollen, I am afraid that the skin is going to split. They look like cartoon feet.

My bp has always been fine at the Drs, but I am getting worried. Could pre-e show up for the first time at 34 weeks?

I have recently developed pitting edema too. My feet and legs feel like they are about to split open. However, my BP is fine so doc said not to worry. Just put your feet above your heart when you can.

If u are very concerned, u should call the doc, that's what he's making the big bucks for, right.!?

But unless u noticed significant and sudden swelling in ur face, he will probably just tell u to make sure u put ur feet up, drink water and stay away from salt...
Good Luck, Hope ur feeling better!!

I'm with u on this one, too.

Yes Pre-Eclampsia could show up at this stage, my friend didn't develop it until 36W and I was showing signs of it at 40W so that is why I was induced with Olivia...

I would recommend calling, or if you can, run by a pharmacy or Wal-Mart and check your own BP, that way you can give your Doc a report and won't have to make a special trip in there just to have your BP checked. I know April said she checks her own whenever she is out and about, I did it the other day when I was swelling a lot. I would also make sure you are watching what you are eating, stay away from the Sodium and drink lots and lots and lots of water.

Sorry you are so uncomfortable, stay off your legs as much as you can
