Suggest Treatment For Swelling On Leg

Im 35 weeks pregnant and I m afraid I have cellutise in my leg. I see my doctor tomorrow, but I m afraid it will hurt the baby. My leg and foot is very swollen with a red color that has not gone away in two weeks. I saw my doctor two weeks ago and he did not seem worried. I don t have high blood pressure and the babys heartbeat was strong and I still feel him kicking often.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Is the swelling in one leg or both legs? Cellulitis generally involves only one leg- it will cause fever and pain along with swelling. Since you are consulting your doc, just wait for his/ her advice
