Pregnant. Has Edema, Swelling, Itching. Serious?
My wife is in the 39th week of pregnancy. She has had very bad edema and considerable weight gain (105-170). Tonight her ankle has no more swelling while the rest of her is still swollen. She has gotten blood drawn for the severe itching condition (i forgot the name, sorry), and toximia. Is the sudden loss of swelling a serious matter or is it ok?

Hi,
No, nothing is serious, sudden loss of swelling is not serious matter..ok
You continue to give her treatment after consulting her gynaecologist.
The itching may be some pregnancy dermatosis.
As now itching is relieved, no treatment is needed.
If itching is there, let her examined by dermatologist to diagnose the disease.
He might give perfect treatment for the skin disease.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
