Hello!

Did you get swollen ankles closer to full term? As I did I wore sketchers and noticed how swollen my ankles became it was quite surprising..

Thanks for your comments in advance!

  • Yes, my ankles and feet were very much swollen !


  • Yes my ankles swelled heaps. Probably didn’t help being in third trimester during summer. It was suggested to me to elevate my feet/legs slightly by placing a pillow underneath – but not for long periods of time.


  • With my daughter it was ridiculous and then swelled up more after i gave birth, crazy@!


  • Be careful with swelling, especially in the third trimester. It can be a sign of pre-eclampsia which is potentially very dangerous. Get your midwife or go to keep an eye on it, and test your urine for proteins which is another sign. Some swelling is just swelling though ????


  • Not ankles but feet and hands. I think it’s quite normal.
