Great news!

I think sitting down with feet down is just as bad! It was for me, anyway. Can you prop your feet up at all?

actually not on my feet at all at work. Sit at a desk and usually work on homework. I guess the sitting with my feet down are causing the swelling.

Yay for double digits and viability. I noticed lots of growth after week 25 too. Try to take it easy as much as you can. Are you on your feet a lot at work? I get some edema occasionally in my legs/feet, but it comes and goes with active days. Hang in there momma!

I am so glad that I have finally made it to 99 days till my due date. Wasn't sure I would make it. I progressively feel worse as time goes on. BP is slowly creeping up and legs have blossomed with some lovely edema. I am planning on asking my dr to write me a note to restrict my days at work down to three a week. hope everyone is having a good day.
