Water Retention

Well, if it's not one thing, then it's another.. I seem to have all the symptoms a pregnant lady can have... from morning sickness to cramps to water retention, you name it, I've had it. Well... still having the water retention. I just started getting it 2 days ago!

My legs were so swollen that it felt tense when I touch them, and it is slightly painful to actually walk or squat. So at night when I sleep I need to put a pillow at my feet to elevate them. It is supposed to help reduce the water retention effect. I've tried it for 2 nights, it works.. in the morning my calves are not as swollen anymore, but during the course of the day, it will slowly build up and by evening it will be swollen again... sigh...

But my husband has been very sweet and supportive... Knowing that I do not get enough sleep every night now, he has tried to be very quiet around me when I fall asleep at night. He will be careful not to move me or disturb me, less I wake up and can't go back to sleep again. Last night, he even resorted to sleeping on the floow so that he does not wake me up.. I was so touched by that... It is true that husband's support is very important during one's pregnancy.. and I can testify to it.. Having my husband's support has certainly helped..

Thank you Lou Gong... lova ya!
