water pills?

Does anyone know if you can take water pills while you are pregnant? I am starting to retain water like crazy my face, hands and feet are swollen and i feel bloated all the time,

has anyone used water pills or asked their dr. if they are safe to use?

water pills can be very dangerous. They usually only give them to older people. You can become dehydrated very easy. Talk to your dr though.

I definitely wouldn't, they're really not that safe   But when in doubt ask your doctor!

I would say, "NO" to water pills. Look, everyone retains water. It's a pain, but it's normal, so maybe you shouldn't be doing anyting to counteract that... right?

Look, here's what I keep saying: "What? Lose weight? Yeah, in about 5 months, I'm going on the famous, fabulous, ever-popular, Lose-8 Lbs-In-One-Day Diet."

After your baby, all this water will come right off, don't stress it   .

No

I owned a weight loss clinic and that is one the things we sold you should not take water pills because it will put you into labour right now you are not ready for labour.

Please remember that water pills release water anywhere in your body and that also included your amniotic fluid.

it's not about losing weight, my hands keep going numb and my feet fall asleep...i talked to my dr. about it but forgot to ask about water pills. I called and they said no way its considered a diuretic or whatever and is very harmful...so i wont be doing that..i'm just uncomfortable and swollen. Like violet from willy wonka and the chocolate factory
