Its normal. I too started with swollen feets tgis early. Dr said its normal till u have a normal blood pressure and other parts of ur body are not swollen (face, hands). When u walk too much this will happen and be there till the end deae till u deliver. If its normal swelling its totally normal.
U can use 2-3pillows below ur feet while resting ir sleeping. This helped me a lot. Hope this helps u too :)

I don't think that's a good sign, its a bit too soon for that.. check with your doctor, my cousin had swollen feet and ended up with preeclampsia.. But I might be wrong look for other signs.. Good luck:)
