Pitting Edema Posted: 07-25-06 11:14am


I was doing my research online and realized that I beleive that I have pitting edema. My feel are so swollen. When I press on my feet, its leaves the indentation for some time after. Is this something that is serious? Im almost 37 weeks pregnant. I drink plenty of fluids and im not on my feet all day. Is there something I can do?

You could call the doctor's nurse and ask her what she thinks. Drink a lot of water and keep your feet up (but you probably already read about that, huh?). Avoid salty foods also.

The same thing happened to me from 7 mths on. I did not have edema or anything else, was just swollen from the pregnancy and humidity. It went away 2 days after giving birth. I went and got pedicures to help since they massage the legs and the lil chines ladies had a riot pushing my skin in!! Lol
