Swelling
I'm almost 30 weeks pregnant and noticed my back getting big. Almost like it seems swollen. I've been having utis and kidney pains throughout this pregnancy and brought up these concerns to my dr but I honestly feel like it isn't getting taken serious. Now a few weeks gone by and noticed my back my sides look different like swollen. Has anyone ever experienced this or know what are some possibilities for this ? Just wanting to know some answers and hopefully bring it up to doctor again obviously I will of course.
Thank you.

Definitely advocate for yourself if you feel something is wrong. I was around 30 weeks and I was really swollen and I told my doctor they said it was normal. Well…I ended up delivering two weeks later and had HELP syndrome and cholestasis and almost went into multi organ failure if I would have carried longer. I went to the hospital because I was contracting and they wouldn’t let me leave pregnant.

There is so much that happens to our bodies. I would express you would like to be checked whether it’s at the hospital or doctors. It doesn’t hurt if you feel like that. It could just be the baby growing and pushing on all your organs though. Please if you at all feel something is wrong with you or baby make yourself heard even if you have to go elsewhere
