I'm overdue and my face has swollen only today?

Noticed my face has changed shape today, my friends just been round and told me she thought it looked swollen, what does this mean? Should I be worried?

Answers:
give your midwife a ring..its probably cos you are fit to burst though thats all xx happy new baby x
relax.it might just be a bee sting
go see a doctor
maybe that it has nothing to do with the fact that your overdue and maybe you ate somat nasty last night and you have had an allergic reaction from it.
If you're worried about anything when you're pregnant, ask your GP or midwife. We're not medical experts on here!
Check with your doctor. Some women get pre-eclampsia which isn't good. Call your doctor and explain.
i dont think anyone on here is going to no for sure so u should go to the doctor.
call your doctor just incase you may be toxic but probally not.. Any time you are pregnant you should contact your doctor when something odd happens to your body!

I am sure you are fine you are probally just retaining water !!
Maybe, there are a lot of factors to this questions like are you on birth control, how late are you? Get a test if you are over due and pregnant a test should confirm it.
how far are you?? I would at least call the dr. but my face swelled and all was okay exceot my water broke within 24 hours and a little girl came to be good luck
Call your doctor. Swelling can sometimes be a sign of preeclampsia, but if you're overdue, then at least you don't have to worry about prematurity. Your doctor may want you to come in and have your blood pressure checked, or he/she may want to go ahead and induce you.

Good luck!
r ur hands and feet swollen? have u a headache? these r signs of eclampsia if ur worried pls call ur midwife or gp a urine sample will say if theres sugar in ur system.
I think you should call the doctor and ask tell him your face is swollen. he will tell you what to do.
Ring doctor or midwife, if only to put your mind at rest
the aitkins diet?
you should always report any swellings and bloating to a midwife or doctor now
Hello

You did not say HOW over due you are.. or if this is your first child etc.

But if it were me , I would give a call to my Physician or Midwife right off.

You will want to be checked and have your Blood pressure taken and make sure you are not beginning to show signs of a condition called Pre Eclampsia.

This is very important. Even though you are late in your Pregnancy there are plenty of things that can still go wrong,,I urge you to see your medical professional right away today! ASAP

Better safe th an sorry!

Good Luck

Wismom :)
i am well overdue and my face is swollen... i am well overdue a payrise and my boss gave me a smack for asking for one!!! lol
i go to the doctors get checked up. even if its nothing u rather be sure wouldnt you.
please call ur gp or midwife its best to be on the safe side ! or if ur in the uk u can phone NHS 24 .
I dont mean to scare you, but swelling is a side affect of pre-eclampsia. I dont think its normally just the face though!!
It may just be water retention.call the Dr and tell them what is going on.
