Anyone retaining water yet?

Ugh, I swear my legs are so icky by the end of the day. They don't look really swollen, only slightly, but they sure feel like it. I need to find something to stick under my desk to prop my feet up with during the day. AND I'm really good about my water 90% of the time, I get in anywhere between 60 and 80 oz most days so you'd think that would help!

Are you still nursing Landon? I was told that since I'm nursing and pregnant, I need at least 100 oz of water a day. I'm not sure I'm getting nearly that much...but, I'm giving it my best.

Oh heck yeah. I think for me this starts as soon as I get pregnant. When I walk more than 1/2 mile my hands swell up - fluid build-up in the extremities. The only time that happens is when I'm pregnant.

If I'm out shopping for a while, my hands swell. If I don't put my feet up at all, sometimes they're a bit swelled in the evening. But nothing compared to my other pregnancies SO FAR. Of course, I think that usually started between 6-7 months and since I just turned 24 weeks, it could begin any day now.

I spend a lot of time each day with my feet up. I know most cannot do that, but now that I stay at home, it's summer, and I feel crappy a lot, my feet go up.

The same thing happens to me! But my hands have done that for as long as I can remember.

I'm noticing swelling in my feet toward the end of the day too. Gives me a good reason to lay down and put my feet up for a bit.

I should also mention, my hands ALWAYs swell when I walk for a while, not just when preggers

Yep... I think some of it is the insanely hot and humid weather though.
