Hi all

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and over the last few days have noticed swelling in my joints behind my knees, does anyone know if this is common? It's a little bit puffy and uncomfortable and looks like theres some fluid retention. I've also had a few hot flushes over the last few days which have also been concerning me so are wondering if the 2 things are linked? Any ideas? Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks
K

Im nearly 33wks pregnant and have really puffy ankles, knees well my whole legs in general are swelling like balloons! Its so uncomfortable, i struggle to bend as is it what with my huge belly let alone my legs feeling like they are going to explode. I did worry about pre-eclampsia but they say the two main signs of this are high blood pressure and protein in the water but i have only just had a midwife appointment and these things were fine. I would say its perfectly normal but if it gets any worse or you really start to worry then contact your midwife, after all thats what they are there for.

Take care x
