I woke up this morning and my thighs were sooo swallon and I have no clue why. I could feel the pain when layin in bed but thought I just slept wrong but then when I got up to walk to the bathroom I was walkin like I just got off of a horse. This isnt the first time that this has happened. It hurts and I have no clue what it is. I just thought id post it and see if anyone else has experienced this or if I was the only odd ball that gets this. I really dont like walkin around the house lookin like I just got off a horse that I rode for like 7 hours. Lol because I tell ya one thing sleep and riding a horse is way(caps) different things. Also we have noticed that I am carrying alot lower than what I was, is it normal for me to drop already? I am 32 weeks. Ive been feeling alot more pressure now and my stomach is alot tighter. It hurts to dry my legs or any part that involves bending over after I get outa the shower..Is that normal? It hurts in my lower stomach by the way. Sorry for so much at one time but I havent been postin much cause ive been tryin to rest since I havent been feelin myself lately...Such as cleaning non stop, feeling dizzy, gettin dizzy spells which by the way I had two today and they werent pretty...Always feelin like im missin something..Organizing everything..Gettin lil contractions but not to serious of em...And having nonstop dreams of labor and mackenzie being here( I used to never dream that much about her but now its nonstop)..I also cant stand more than 5mins without me feelin like im gonna fall over, I used to be able to stand forever but now I get the wind knocked outa me if I stand to long.. Could this all be a sign or whats going on with me? Thanks girls, id appreciate all the replies I can get because I for one have no idea whats goin on with my body

When is ur next docs appt? I would report this to him right away. Sudden swelling like that can be very dangerous. Otherwise, some of the other things seem normal. Around your weeks I couldnt stand long either without feeling sick (still cant) and it started becoming a little painful when bending over. Your baby couldve dropped already tho (they can 6-8 weeks b4 isnt completely uncommon) so maybe u will have her at 38 weeks or something. Some people drop early. And the dreams are normal, I havent had them lately but idid for a while. And cleaning, well it could be nesting im not sure. Ive been like that a lot on and off. But I would definitly report the swelling right away.. Let us know!

My next doc appointment is tuesday(13th). Ill tell my doc about it, so I take it swelling isnt good? I mean my doc didnt tell me to look out for swelling in my thighs so thats what made me wonder. Thanks ill let ya know as soon as I get back from the doc.
Speaking of dreams...Kari I had a weird one last night and you were in it lol we were in canada swimming in an ocean haha!! U pushed me in cause I didnt wanna go in and then I pushed u in and ryan was eating a ham pizza my brother was beatin some kid up and my dad was dancin with some lady..While mackenzie was sittin there in her car seat thingy on the picnic table. I got outa the water to eat strawberries and I dont remember what u ate lol. Sorry thought id share that dream with ya since u were in it hahaha. That was the weirdest dream I have ever had in my life.

Yeah I agree with kari. Sudden swelling is a sign of preeclampsia. Everything else sounds normal though. Hope you get everything figured out and that you're ok and that you start feeling better!
