swollen feet in summer

Hi ladies im 32 weeks and my feet got a lil swollen. One is more swollen than the other lol. Normally yes im tored my feet hurt aince i stand all day at work but once im up im ok i can handle it. I have a lot of energy. Yesterday i had a small baby shower just friends and i was walking around ALL day today i clean ALL day and now it hurts to even walk. My feet are killing me i feel like i cant even put pressure on them so i walk as if i have needles sticking out :/.

I'm 6 months pregnant, is it normal to have swollen feet already? I am on my feet a lot and it's very hot where I am. Not sure if that matters?

I'm also 37 and just started swelling this week. No high bp or protein in the urine, just normal swelling. It's summer here so I guess I'm needing more water to make up for how much I'm sweating. Keep hydrated and avoid salty foods.

I have 2 days to go before im due to have my son and my feet are swollen. Is it a sign of labour or something else?

I had it bad first pregnancy too and developed preeclampsia. It's been so hot here as its summer and have been getting swollen feet lots! I'm 24+3 at the moment. Drink water, keep your feet up when you can during the day, have some time at night to put your feet higher up, I use a hot water bottle by my feet at night that has been in the freezer all day it's amazing! Look into some Yoga stretching for your feet/ankles too that helps!

Hi my feet used to swell occasionally in the summer an it was not a big deal. However, my feet have been constantly swollen for the past 2-2.5 months. Its both of my feet, ankles, and lower legs. I have not injured them and have no other symptoms to report. I have tried compression stockings and they don't seem to help. I have tried walking every day and still the swelling persisted. They are swollen from the moment i wake up in the morning, it does not go away with eleveation. Any ideas?

ve been freaking out about how much my feet have gotten swollen these past few days, its terrible!

Many elderly women show up in the emergency room with peripheral edema or swollen feet due to congestive heart failure (which is a chronic condition). When I was pregnant, I had ONE foot swell terribly. That was a vein issue in my case. And I had pregnancy hypertension and had pitting edema overall. (good times . . . loved it so much I did it twice, ha ha). Another common reason for this kind of edema is kidney issues. And liver issues. The list goes on.

Well, friends, I have a new thing to ask about and I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this for me. As some of you know, my main complaints have been pain, mostly arthritis pain along with fibromyalgia pain, and RSD pain, which came after 9 surgeries on my hand, which ultimately failed. I've been on a ton of medications over the past several years. Since last June I've been on the Fentanyl patch, 75 mcg every 48 hours, oxycodone 30 mg. 1 to 1.5 pills every 4 hours, 800 mg.

I no exactly what your feeling I'm always feeling so hot plus the summer weather doesn't help.

I did with my last two children they were summer babies which was good because I couldn't wear any shoes besides flip flops I'm due in Feb now so we shall see how it goes lol

My 4th pregnancy. .. i have never had swelling with my 1st 3. Today i got home from work and put some socks on. Was eating dinner and realized that my sock was cutting into my foot on one side. Took it off and was surprised to see my feet swollen. Don't know if it was swollen throughout the day and I just didn't notice it or it came on quickly after i put on the socks.... i know swelling is common during pregnancy but also read that sudden swelling could be a sign of blood clots.....

My grandmother always told me if I started to swell to tell your doctor asap because it could mean you have some type of toxic poisoning. She lost a baby to it. But dont stress to much untill you talk to your doctor because being pregnant makes you sensitive to salt as well. I have had mild swelling due to my salt intake.

Is it hot where you live ? When i was pregnant with my 1st daugther it was in the summer and my feet and my ankles looks like an elephant...i couldn't wear my wedding ring ever... that is what happen to me but if you are really worried check with your Gp.

I was wondering how many of you have swollen feet and / or ankles this summer?? Craig's feet are so swollen today that he can't see his ankle bones. I was wondering how common this is??

I have a pair of slippers at work that I often wear most of the day. My feet are so swollen and get very sore as well. I try to sit as much as I can, with chairs set up around the room. I also wear Sketchers go walk 3 sneakers and they are like walking on clouds. The only problem is they are tight on my swollen feet! I hope it gets better for you, good luck!

I am 31 weeks and for a good month or so my feet have been swollen and I cant wear sneakers. Its driving me loca. With my first I didn't really experience this much because he was born in June. My 2nd is due in November. I so dislike being pregnant during the summer.

Mines are the same way I woke up with tingling

( it has to do with swelling as well as water retention which is what causes the most if our swelling shrug the summer.

t want to complain one bit because we had the worst winter in the world out here last February! I am trying to be grateful...swollen feet and all!

The joys of being pregnant in the summer. I had them at the end with both of my pregnancies, but it was definetly worse at the end when I was pregnant with my son in August in Florida!

I have swollen ankles and feet(last 3 days), puffiness in my face in AM, swollen glands and sore neck(1 week)

Hi, Deb. I have had this problem intermittently for years, though nowhere near as bad as it used to be. Now it's just in hot summer when I've been on my feet a lot. Years ago it was much much worse, and I was put on all sorts of diuretics and so on. Finally they said it was idiopathic edema, which I think is medicalese for 'Beats the h*ll out of me.' They had no clue, and still don't. But I don't think it has any connection with MS.

Oh yeah! My feet are about twice their normal size. I'm so glad that I'm preggo in the summer because I can only wear sandals and flip flops. Doc says that my blood pressure is fine and isn't concerned. I will say that since I was put on bedrest/disability, my feet aren't as bad.

Can happen in the summer if you're in air conditioning. Anytime your hands and feet get cold. Swimming too.

The day after I arrived went around to do a lot of errands and by night was super tired and my feet got swollen. Is been three days and my feet are still swollen! My shoes barely fit me =/ I'm hoping this is nothing to worry about but I've never seen my feet swollen like this and hoping maybe when I get back to the cold weather they go back?? Any advice on what I can do?

My feet are so swollen they jiggle when I walk.

With it being summer and so warm swelling is very common. Its already common in pregnancy but when its warmer it makes it worse. Be sure to drink lots of water. If you are really concerned it wouldn't hurt to call. The worst they can say is its fine.
