Should I go to L&D for pitting edema? I elevated my feet and the swelling did go down a bit but not completely. I’m 39+weeks. My feet are swollen and dent in when you press on the swollen part.
Call your dr’s office even if it’s after hours. They should have an answering service. They’ll tell you what you need to do. If your swelling is sudden they worry about pre-eclampsia.

Yes you should! Especially being so far along it could be preeclampsia or high blood pressure

Call labor and delivery. I would go in though.

This happened to me my first pregnancy & I was completely fine they just always told me to keep off my feet & keep water intake & everything would be fine!
But everyone’s is different you could always call your obgyn for advice!
