i am 21 weeks and i woke up and my face and hands were very swollen i that normal?
i called my dr right away but still havnt herd from her but my swelling has went down since this moring is this normal? should i be concerned i dont have another appt til 2 more weeks..
some swelling during pregnancy can be normal, but if it happened all the sudden, and it's in your face, it could be that your blood pressure has spiked. i would definately get to a doctor right away or at least get someone to take your blood pressure and see if it's up. high blood pressure during pregnancy can lead to pre-eclampsia, which is dangerous for you and your baby if nothing is done about it. call your birthing center and let them know about your swelling. headaches, blurry vision, flashes of light, etc., are other symptoms that shouldn't be ignored. if it is your blood pressure, they will probably put you on bedrest, and you will have to lay on your left side. good luck!!! i had preeclampsia and my baby and i were both fine, so try not to be scared, but do see someone just to be sure that's not the case! like i said, some swelling can be normal, but definately get it checked out.
hi dear... yes it's quite normal and it takes time to get regular timings.. so don't worry. happy motherhood looks like dermatographia. if this is your first time experiencing this, it's probably temporary. it could also be a allergic reaction to something on your hands after you scratched your arm but that would be a strange scratching pattern. give it a few days and if it doesn't stop, a doctors appointment couldn't hurt. no problems with that. it's quite normal swelling is one of the symptoms of superficial phlebitis. the area is often very tender to touch, warm and red. it is best to have the acute inflammation treated and then explore your options for definitive treatment. see more... it could be irritation by the clippers themselves which would be more of an allergic rash or it could be an infection. i cannot exclude a fungal infection as well. i would see your doctor for an evaluation to decide on the appropriate medication and treatment for your problem. have a swell day. see more... may be a sign of infection, check with your doctor. see more... if the amount is very low. it is normal. dont worry It's allergic manifestation,,u need to apply coconut oil,by proper homoeopathic treatment to cure ur problem are you sure that hey are not either ofthe following:

small blisters or heat rash? (i had this once and yes they itch)
-the blisters were so tiny that i could hardly even tell thatt hey were blisters, my doctor had to actually point it out, that they were blisters and not just "bumps".

an allergic reaction to your tanning lotion?
-sometimes when you continually use the same lotion your body begins to "reject it" same reason why woman who start wearing make up very early tend to not be able to wear it later in life, because they become llergic to it.

have you changed your tannign lotion recently?
-also could be an allergic reaction... or sometimes the "hot action" lotions can cause red bumps and a tingly/itchy sesnation for up to 6 hours after you tan, or until you shower to remove it.

try covering just your tummy with a towel while you tan, and don't apply any tanning lotion or accelorator to the area, for a couple times and see what happens... *i know that you don't want a tan line* but the stomach is usually the first area to tan, gets the darkest and also absorbs the most heat in the bed. if it still happens, it could have something to do with the heat and not the bed or the lotion itself.

you could also see if an aloe based "after tanning lotion" helps.

if none of this works, i would recommend stopping tanning, and seeing your doctor about it before starting again.

**my aunt and uncle owned a tanning salon for 5 years, i both worked and tanned there for a long time, so i've seen alot of crazy stff... probably more than i wanted to... lol**

we also own a tanning bed and have for a really long time... i've been tanning since i was in about 8th - 9th grade.

btw to keep from getting wrinkles from tanning... exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate... lol cause unfortunately it is true... you do get wrinkles from tanning... =) Hello Satish ,
