I hate pregnant feet.

[Shell Beau]

They really do suck. Especially Mississippi July pregnant feet. Who knew my feet could look like stuffed sausages?

[Symarip]

1. Who did your feet procreate with?

:D

[Shell Beau]

3. Apparently some stuffed sausages.

[redqueen]

2. Hah.

Edema?

Put them up! Prescribed laziness... can't beat that. :)

I didn't have ankles for a while. :o

[Shell Beau]

4. Best advice all day! The ankles are slowly starting to hide. Damn them.

[malta blue]

5. aw Shell.

I had the same problem with Little MB.

I had a friend who would ice my feet at work and massage them for me during his break :loveya:

Put them up and relax. You deserve it :hug:

[Shell Beau]

9. Aw!! You're so sweet!

My husband massages them for me. I wish it could last forever. Foot massages are the best.

It certainly doesn't that it is about 100 degrees today. Gotta love that heat.

[Bake]

24. And hey, 100 in Miss'ippi is like 140 anywhere else!!

:hi:

Bake

[Fran Kubelik]

6. Awwww. I know how that feels

Well, except for the Mississippi part.

You should move north. :hide:

[Midlodemocrat]

8. yeah, Mississippi sucks.

:hide:

Kidding, Shell!!!! Put them up and ice them down. The edema is no fun.

[Shell Beau]

12. No fun indeed! I do have to say Mississippi sucks

in the summer. :P Who told me to get knocked up when I did? Didn't they consider the summer heat?

[Fran Kubelik]

20. I carefully planned out my pregnancy so I wouldn't be at my hugest

...during the summer. ;)
But then, I was lucky and got knocked up the minute I started trying. I know most people aren't that lucky.

[Shell Beau]

23. Yeah it took us 5 years.

2 miscarriages and 2 ectopics and a surgery later, I have finally had a successful pregnancy. So really I complain only jokingly and really am thankful.

[Shell Beau]

11. Hehe!! Everything is better up there I hear!

;)

[Fran Kubelik]

13. I'll tell you why I wouldn't live in Mississippi

Too damn hot. And humid.
Plus y'all talk funny. :P

[Shell Beau]

17. Now those I can agree with!!

;)

But you have the accent, not me!! :rofl:

[MrCoffee]

7. Oh thanks for that

Now I'm gonna be walking around sayin' "Mizzippi Joo-lie" all day long.



Sorry about yer feet.

[Shell Beau]

14. I thought you meant the stuffed sausage part!

Next time you eat sausage, you can think of my fat feet!! :P

See I am sweet like that!

[MrCoffee]

15. Or when I eat a TurDuckEn

[Shell Beau]

18. Your favorite Thanksgiving treat!

[Raven]

10. My legs looked like giant redwoods. Oh honey, I feel your pain 36 years later!

I was pregnant with Will in Washington DC. Had a real problem with water retention and they were worried about me. Had to cut out all salt...everything. I worked up to 2 weeks before he was born and when I got home, I couldn't see that I had ankles at all. Put your feet up sweetie and watch the salt. It will all be over...soon and then the sleepless nights will begin. :hug:

PS. The sleepless nights last until they are over 18 and out of the house! :-)

[Shell Beau]

16. It is all downhill from here, huh?

:P

[Raven]

19. Well, yeah but you'll be rid of the swollen ankles! Seriously, watch

the water retention because it can be dangerous to you and the baby. I assume you're getting a BP and weight check every few weeks. If not, you should.

[Shell Beau]

21. Yep! Went last week.

BP was 111/70 so that is good. I've gained 19 lbs. x( Which is good, but I was hoping to only gain 20 the whole pregnancy. Probably going to be more like 25-30! But I know the BP can change quickly. I go back next week.

[Raven]

22. Good for you! You're gonna do just fine! n/t

[China_cat]

25. Somebody who's been pregnant in SC in July.

Feet and ankles totally indistinguishable...when I could see them at all.

[ThomCat]

26. I am so, so sorry.

:(

Being pregnant in the summer just always seems like a feat of raw endurance. :hug:
