To call or not to call...

lilmiss629 · December 2009

It's my first pregnancy, so everything is new to me, and I'm not sure what "normal" is... I am not quite 30 weeks but I have had quite a lot of swelling in the past month or so. I have pitting edema in my legs (where your skin stays indented if you push on it) and my face is pretty swollen as well. My blood pressure is generally pretty low, but I took it last night and it was 140/90. My question is, should I go ahead and call the doctor or just wait until next Monday for my regular appointment?

CALL!!!!!! Elevated blood pressure and swelling is always something to call about.

Call. I am not normally a person that encourages calling for every little thing, but with that kind of swelling it is definitely worth letting your dr know. They will at least let you know if you can jsut watch it until your next appt or if it needs to be taken care of ASAP.
