Hi. I'm currently 26 weeks preg with DD2. I had PE from 37 weeks with DD1 and was induced early. I ended up with an emergency CS and DD was 10lb. I had very very bad water retention from 30 weeks making me pretty imobile from 36 weeks onwards.
I'm petrified about becoming so big and water logged again.... I have a very enthusiastic toddler and I just can't handle the idea that I'm not going to be able to kneel down or run after her
Does anyone have any tips on keeping the odema at bay? I've heard eating diuretics (watermelon, cucumber, watercress etc) will help... any other suggestions?
