What Causes Fluid Under The Skin Of A Baby?
I'm pregnant and my baby has fluid under its skin according to the doctors. Have you ever seen anything like this and what are the chances for my baby, because they don't sound to good. I am 29 yrs old with no family history of any retardation. My height is 5'6". Other than the fluid under the skin (swollen baby) everything else looks normal. The size and growth is proper to the 21 weeks along that I am.
