Well, no darling, it would rather be walking on eggshells. No, not scaring you, just simply stating some authentic facts on pregnancy. When I visited my baby scan clinic   (I live in Aylesbury), I observed many expecting ladies talking amongst each other about pregnancy problems  and seems like all of them were on the same page as they all hated swollen feet.
