So, for the last couple of days I have noticed some swelling in my feet, and I laughed about my early "kankles", but then I started to get paranoid! It seems very early to be swollen, what if there's something wrong? So, to put my mind at ease I called the doctor yesterday and she said that I needed to come in to rule out toxemia. So what did I do - of course, I googled toxemia. BIG MISTAKE. I didn't even click on the in depth answer because of what the brief said. . .so I made myself crazy all day thinking of all the terrible things that could go wrong.
And then I got to the doctor, and she told me (in a very endearing way), "well, I hate to tell you this, but you're probably going to be one of those women who swells up like a baloon during pregnancy." GREAT. There are no signs of anything being wrong - no toxemia- and I am SO thankful there's nothing wrong with the blueberry. Beware, I may be puffy the next 5 months or so! I'm going to really watch my salt intake and make reminders at work to get up and walk around every couple of hours, and hopefully that will help! YIKES! I'm also going to work on a pregnancy resolution to not freak out at the little things!
