Oh Becky I so know what you mean! My E cups went to G cups and were the hardness of concrete!

My legs didn't swell up until about 2 days after he was born - caused by the long walk between special care and the ward. One doctor said he could always tell which ladies had babies in special care just by looking a their ankles!

My AA cups went to C.
And yes, hard as a rock.
My first "symptom" of pregnancy was having to hold my boobs when walking because they hurt so much.

I've never heard of Cankles. You sound as if you're very uncomfortable. I'm sorry.
Big hugs!

Cankles = My ankles and my calves have become one.

Yes. I am pretty uncomfortable. Hate to complain. The outcome is wonderful.
