I had terrible swelling with my first two (a boy and a girl), but hardly any swelling with my 3rd (a girl). For me though I think it had to do with time of the year. I was pregnant with my first two in the summer and my third in the winter. The heat seems to make me swell terribly.
I was much more swollen with my son than my girls, and I have been really swollen lately with this one too. But both this pregnancy and my son were through the summer,so I think the heat has a lot to do with it (for me anyway!).
How soon is that baby coming? I have been thinking about you a lot!
I never swell that I know of, I mean I still wore the same shoes when my sisters were pregnant their feet couldn't fit in their shoes at all had to buy new ones, one had a boy and the other a girl, and of course I got 4 boys but wonder if the root has to do with what you crave because diet plays a big part in your body holding fluids
I had no swelling at all with my pregnancies (both boys). I agree- I think it has to do with what you eat, how much you exercise, etc. I also had a loss of appetite (especially in sweets and I normally have a sweet tooth) with both my boys.
I think all of those things- if you gain hair, lose hair, get clearer skin or worse skin, swell/don't swell, get oilier/drier- whatever it is- I just think none of it has rhyme or reason!! It all just depends!
Awww, thank you! Officially, I'm due in 2 weeks, but I was hoping for an earlier delivery. Obviously not going to happen lol!Quote:

I lived in denial for few months, but now I'm just waiting to face the inevitable :(
I forgot to say: please just share your experiences! I really, really don't need lecturing about possible causes of swelling. Thank you! :)
Weird...I didn't have any swelling with DD, just a little with DS...I am 7 weeks now and have been wearing pants for the last 3 weeks cuz my ankles look like they belong to my grandmother...especially the right one! I was striking it up to old age!
Only time will tell the gender for #3...
I am sorry you are having a hard time and suffering from GD. GD is a nasty thing! I'll be keeping everything crossed that somehow it is a boy. If it isn't boy, I know you will be a fabulous mom and will fall in love with your baby. Hang in there!!Quote:
