I had pitting edema terrible with my last pregnancy. I know (now) that a lot of it was my son being allergic to dairy and the toxins filtering back out through my body. Yikes. And my legs itched. Pitting edema is something that I would take to your dr. Drink plenty of water (helps push the fluid out. Odd, I know!). and if you can, keep your legs up. They told me above heart level. Pretty sure my kidneys were taxed
How are you doing now?
