Here, is a picture of my oedema taken at it’s best for three weeks. Mmm Mmm! As you can see my feet think they’re going to have a baby as well.
How it looks.
This, of course, is how it feels…
Oh my word! That hand about made me faint. I’m glad to have had a couple of seconds of consciousness to process it before I went down!
I’m sorry you’re feeling all puffy and stuff. Hopefully it won’t last too much longer and you’ll have something to show for it.
I never got the oedema too bad but in the last couple weeks my ankles swelled enough that my socks were cutting off my circulation. I’m kind of looking forward to being pregnant in summer this time — at least I can have bare legs and wear sandals when the sausage-ness is at its worst instead of trying to squeeze them into trousers and boots in the winter.
You must be so excited, not long now!
There are alot of good supplements out there to help with oedema and water retention. One that I used for a while was Blotax you can buy it online i think http://www.blotax.com
