Abdominal Wall Edema
Does anyone else have abdominal wall edema? I went to my doctor appointment this week (I'm in my 24th week) and she told me that's what I have. Lower down where the baby is, it's sensitive to the touch from the outside, a bit pink, firm, and the skin is rippled a bit. Anyone else dealing with this? She said its caused by a circulation issue. Blood pools a bit there causing fluid to go into the tissue. Ugh, it doesn't feel good and it'll just continue to worsen during my pregnancy. Just didn't want to feel alone.
