Swelling at 15 weeks

I'm pregnant with my 2nd child and have started swelling already. In my last pregnancy I started to notice swelling and pain somewhere around 20/30 weeks and it got really bad around 34 weeks, I went from a size 9 to a size 11 shoe and had pitting edema and could barely walk. I'm starting to experience the pain and swelling so much earlier at 15 weeks. Has anyone else experienced it this early? Is it normal to start earlier with a 2nd baby?

I would be raising it with your GP or obstetrician ASAP. It is common, but could also be a precursor for other complications like hypertension or Preeclampsia. Worth getting a professional opinion … ❤️

I got it much earlier with my first pregnancy, around 15 weeks, than my second, around 30+ weeks because of a heatwave and I was much more sedentary with work during the first. Always worth checking with a doctor. It’s not fun, and I feel your pain.
