Oedema in bottom of bump?

[Fly]

My midwife pointed out i had a bit yesterday - she said its really common n not to worry about it but now i know its there of course its feeling uncomfortable and really numb and am having a totally irrational worry that cos it feels so numb and of where it is its sommat to do with me old c-section scar and and and

So just wondering if anyone else has got this?

It's right at the very bottom of my bump and feels kinda squishy and numb to touch and slightly uncomfortable?

my friend had this in the late stages of her pregnancy she said it wasnt very nice you got me looking at mine now ive noticed the bottom of my bump seems strange and a bit numb but ive been putting it down to my c section from last time think i may have to get a mirror to have a good look later as i cant even see my belly button anymore failing that ive got the midwife coming in the morning xxxxxxxx

ok im worried now wish i hadnt looked that close in the mirror my little apron now looks like a giant pear drop and the skin is puckered like a plucked chicken am so glad midwife is coming 2moro so i can ask her about it i think id best stop wearing the skimpy knickers too and dig out the big ones i bought maybe they will help by giving it some support will let you know what the MW says 2moro xxxxxxxxx

cheers for that Mary n hope your midwife can give you some answers tomorrow Rach! seems such a really strange place to get oedema and its so localised aswell - most odd - perfect excuse to spend all day tomorrow in me nightie i think

OOOH! I had this towards the end of my pregnancy. Midwife and Dr. said not to worry about it and that it was just pregnancy-related swelling and it would go once the baby arrived; which it did.

Keep an eye on other swelling though...legs/fingers/face/ankles/feet as obviously swelling can be a sign of pre-eclampsia.
