So I am 8 months pregnant and I have just started to swell in my feet and hands. I can't wear my wedding ring and I have a really hard time wearing my shoes. I know it is only temporary and to be honest it isn't too bad. It hurts every once in a while, but it goes away so it is easy to deal with. Sometimes I don't even notice until someone points it out.
Well the first week it happened was when our temperature in Arizona reached over 100 degrees. It is so hot outside!!! I drink plenty of water, but apparently I am just meant swell until this little bundle of joy decides to come out. The best part of having your feet swell is you can laugh and make jokes. Like this picture of the first day of swelling...my feet look like Fred Flin
stone's feet.
stone's feet. You can't see my ankle bones!!!! I will try to take more pictures, but man this cracks me up. I am speaking honestly when I say it isn't that bad. I try to swim 2-3 times per week to help with the swelling and it does help. The only complaint I have is how sore my ankles are. They didn't hurt until the swelling started, but I honestly don't know how obese people handle it. If my ankles hurt this bad with me being pregnant and having a temporary swelling and weight gain, how do their ankles feel?
