Hello, Excuse me for the mix up. Like I said I am not a doctor, but I do know how you feel. I have very little feet. I am only 4ft 8inches tall. So when I swell I look like a balloon. I would tell you doctor, and just see if he would run so test just to make sure. and Just think 6 more weeks and you will be holding that buddle of joy in your arms. Than you will forget about everything well in away. Be like me do it all over again. Those things did help with me exspecially with this pregnancy. But What might work for me maynot work for you. Good luck
