I didn't get cankles until like 36 or 38 weeks with DD, and they're fat as grapefruits right now! Of course, I did run through an airport and fly 2 hours on an airplane both Friday and today, which is enough to make anyone swell, but this seemed to come out of nowhere. I suddenly looked down Friday night and was like, 'holy crap, I have major cankles!' I walk, eat a pretty good diet, and drink tons of water, so I don't really know what else I could do to prevent it. I woke up Sat am with then pretty fat too.....wierd, don't they usually go down over night?

I stopped by Walmart on Saturday and sat down at the little blood pressure cuff - I figured not a bad idea with the sudden edema and vision problems (I now have lots of floaters,) and the 1st time it was like 120/71. 120/71 isn't bad, but it's pretty high for me....my norm is like 100/65. I took it like 3 more times and by the last time it was 101/64, so I'm not worried about it.

I hate cankles! There's like nothing less feminine than cankles!
