Hello,
I need advice. I am pregnant (26 weeks) and I have swollen legs. I read so many literature lately and I found a term toximia, for which swollen legs are indication. I am really afraid this could harm my baby. Could toximia harm my baby?

Hey there,
It is possible it is toximia, but then again it is also possible that this is just pregnancy. Another sign of toxemia is swollen face and rapid weight gain (like 2 pounds weekly). Toximia may harm you and your baby, but I do not want to go into details, what toximia can do to you, because I am sure you shall get frighten. Let’s say toxemia in most severe cases can be fatal for you and the baby. Whether this is toximia or not should be determined by your doctor. And most often the treatment includes medication, bed rest and a diet (no salt, high/ protein) and when the treatment starts, in most cases, recovery is very quick. I would like to say once more, that swollen legs are “sign” of pregnancy and maybe you are worrying too much. Bu, if you want to be sure, you should get checked by doctor.

I would have it checked right away!Just to be on the safe side, after all, your and your baby's lives are the most important, why risk it now when you have nearly reached the end of your pregnancy!

I am approx. 8weeks with my third pregnancy and having these symtoms: swollen legs, feet, face, hands, arms, practically swollen all over. I have gained at least 10 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. I am over tired, but have slight insomnia problem, I think :$ . Not the usual "I'M HUNGRY! FEED ME OR I WILL EAT YOUR LEG OFF" hungry spells/ cravings. Really, I haven't been hungry hardly at all lately. I get full of maybe three bites of food???!!! o.O My mother thought it may be TOXEMIA!!???
I just dont understand it. I know something is wrong. I just have a bad feeling about this pregnancy . Its already scaring me so if the advice or comments are scarier...spill it! I am ready!

TOEXMIA........IS IT???? AND WHAT CAN I DO??????????
