It's very normal! Just watch out if they don't go down with rest in 12 hours. My feet and hands get very swollen sitting for too long, walking or just having a busy day. Drinking a heap of water does helps I drink about 3L a day. Prolonged swollen feet, hands and face can indicate preeclampsia

Yes its very normal. Im on my 3rd baby and my feet get this way after an hour and im only 13 weeks. Just elevate them above ur hips. Drink lots of water to flush those kidneys out. Take care
