Yes! Looks great!: Hopefully it will stay that good the WHOLE time! Good luck! Keep your legs elevated when you can. Do NOT wear flip flops-only good supportive shoes that you are less likely to trip! Keep knees higher than hips when sitting! Things to look out for: sudden VERY HIGH BP (>140/90), with swelling of hands, face, and feet that doesn't go away after sleeping, perhaps a bad headache--see your OB ASAP!
