MY SISTER IS 38 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS ALONG WITH HER FIRST BABY. SHE LIVES IN ALASKA AND THE REST OF US LIVE IN WISCONSIN. SHE IS VERY SWOLLEN, HER ANKLES LOOK LIKE THEY WERE HIT BY A BASEBALL BAT, HER HANDS ARE EVEN MORE SWOLLEN AND STAY KNUMB ALL THE TIME. SHE HAS HAD A SLIGHT LEAK SINCE LAST NIGHT, HER DOCTORS HAVE NEVER CHECKED HER CERVIC. I TOLD HER TO GO IN TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE ITS NOT NORMAL, BUT SHE WONT. WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU GIVE ME. THANK YOU RAQUEL
I have understood your concern, as you mentioned your sister is pregnant so taking medication for pain and swelling is not advisable. As you told ankle got injured due to hit. So need immediate attention and treat with ice application and compression bandages. As her to raise her leg above her chest level so swelling and inflammation and edema will reduce quickly. For cervical leakages she needs to go to gynecologist and immediate action to be taken care as baby reached at full term age. I hope you have satisfied with this answer.
