Swelling...uggg...help?

NSYoder26

Ok so over the past two weeks I have noticed a significant increase in the amount of swelling especially in my calfs and ankles (excuse me, cankles).

I try to keep my feet up on a box under my desk at work and elevate/ice them as much as I can while at home (but I still have stuff to do and can't sit on my ass all day).

I am trying ot increase my water in take too, but I am little and have a small baldder as it is outside of being pregnant (sorry if TMI), so I spend half my day in the bathroom!

I know that this is expected, but how do I know if it is considered 'sudden' and/or 'severe'? After having several friends and family with preclampsia and gestational hypertension I am extremely nervous/aware of this and just want to make sure what I am experiencing is normal.

Any advice/additional suggestions are appreciated!
