My face looks so puffy these days specially in the morning, even my husband noticed. Im in 7th month now. Is this normal swelling or something I should ask gynac about?
According to my doctor, while some water retention is normal, sudden swelling of the face and hands can indicate high blood pressure. It's always best to get your BP monitored immediately.
My face puffed up a bit in the third trimester due to water retention. But my doctor always told me to report any sudden swelling immediately, so please do check with your gynac.
Sudden facial swelling can be a warning sign of high blood pressure or preeclampsia. Please don't ignore this and call your gynac immediately to get your BP checked.
