I have that very same problem I'm 38 weeks and my ankles are so swollen that i can barley walk some days. My parents literally make me sit With my legs elevated above my heart all day until they see a change. If they don't see a change i have to do this multiple days. Also salt could be a reason why you are retaining water.
