ITCHY feet

Lol, how interesting. I've had this a lot too and just wrote it off. I wonder if it could be a pregnancy thing after all? I get it a lot in bed, its really annoying!

I have puffy feet and get tingles and itchies for me its the heat coz thats when they mainly swell really bad

Yeah, high (?) blood pressure causes swelling and itchy hands and feet. For the feet, have a sit down with your legs up as high as you can manage with a giant belly to contend with. And for hands.... hrmmm... walk round looking like and idiot with your hands in the air?!?

But yeah, Janine is right too, it's a sign of pre-eclampsia.

Here are other symptoms to look out for
- severe headaches,
- vision problems such as blurring or seeing flashing lights before the eyes,
- pain in the upper abdomen,
- vomiting, and
- sudden swelling of feet, ankles, face and hands and excessive weight gain because of fluid retention.

The pee on a stick tests the midwives do each visit shows up protein when pre-eclampsia is setting in. But don't worry about it too much as all the symptoms are also pregnancy generally. Maybe mention it to your midwife when you next talk to her (if you only have one of the symptoms).

I get the flashing lights/visual disturbance thing too. Mine is cos of low blood pressure!

yeah I rang midwife and she said All normal "as usual" Ive been going dizzy too. She said its ok.

Told me to go get blood pressure checked if Im worried but she was not concerned.
