Dent in leg!!!

I am 37wks and 6 days. When I press on my leg for 10 seconds and let go, the impression stays. Should I call my doctor?

  • My ankles are totally jealous that you have made it this far without any swelling.  Edema is really common late in pregnancy, but if it is an acute change it never hurts to call the office.  But as long as your BP is ok, then it isnt anything to worry about.

  • My blood pressure is always good, so I'm thinking it is just normal swelling. I am in very good shape and have only gained 22lbs thus far. It's just very freaky looking. I am older, 32 yrs old, this is my third child, and I was a smoker before finding out I was pregnant. I think these all can contribute from what I have read, could be wrong. So I will call. Thank you ladies!!!
  • If your BPs good, I wouldn't worry too much, but call just to be safe.

  • My foot has been doing this for weeks due to normal pregnancy related swelling.  I thought it was common with swelling.  It never hurts to call your doctor and see what their opinion is.

  • It was just swelling, my blood pressure was fine. But helped me mentally to have it checked out.
