Swelling

Holy crap. My feet are HUGE! My legs and feet and fingers are all so puffy, I don't even recognize them as my own. It's so uncomfortable. So of course, I had to research online. Probably not the best idea because I'm not a doctor and if it was that easy to diagnose, there would be no need for doctors. However, I have 2, possibly 3, symptoms of preeclampsia. According to preeclampsia.org the symptoms are:

• Hypertension
• Proteinuria
• Edema
• Sudden Weight Gain
• Nausea or Vomiting
• Abdominal and/or Shoulder Pain
• Lower Back Pain
• Headache
• Changes in Vision
• Hyperreflexia

Again, I'm not trying to diagnose myself but the swelling is crazy and yes it's hot, but I've been in the a/c. I also gained 7 pounds this week, probably from the swelling, but that really concerned me when I got on the scale yesterday. Today, I was at my parents' house and they have blood pressure cuff so I decided to take my blood pressure. I'm almost always 112/72, today I was 133/91. While this doesn't fall into the hypertension range (140/90) completely but it's way high for me. I did have a headache all day today but it's gone now so I don't think it counts.

I'm not concerned enough to call the doctor but I will definitely mention it to him when I'm there on Thursday. I hope it's nothing abnormal.

Here's a picture of my nasty swollen foot (take my word for it, it's big):
