should i be concerned?

i have had swollen legs- they don’t look bad if i’m being honest but when i press on them they dint in, and stay dented-

i rang up the ward at 11pm a few days ago concerned they told me to keep an eye on it if it continues to contact triage the next day
i contacted triage and they told me to wait for my midwife app and talk to her seen as it was only the next day

my midwife app was on monday and she said nothing to be concerned about-
but for the last 3 days standing up for a matter of 5 minutes is turning my legs blue/purple

excuse my worn out sliders😂😂😂
should i be worried?
im 36 weeks tomorrow

Go and get checked. I have just found out I have bilateral DVT and it could have been fatal if it was caught much later x

When they dent in & stay dented that's water retention! Can't help with the colour I'm afraid. Id ring triage again x

My midwife sent me to A&E after i pointed out my swollen ankles (simulator to yours), she was concerned I could have DVT in the more swallow leg and I also had the Denting.
I did get the all clear after scanning my leg but glad I went and ruled it out.
