Dents in legs

So when I was eating dinner all the sudden I had the biggest urge to throw up so I ran to the restroom and started sweating like crazy. I threw up a little bit and hopped in the shower to cool off. I am now sitting here and when I push in on my shins there is a dent left and it stays there a while before going back to normal. I know this can be a sign of retaining water as my moms legs used to do the same but I have never experienced it. Does this sound like something I should be concerned with?? Or call my doctor? FTM I am 36 weeks 2 days by the way!

It's called pitting edema. It can be serious, so I would call your doctor.

I personally have not experienced that,
I would call your dr just incase, they can tell you on the phone if its serious and you if you need to go in or not.
