Swelling/a bit of leaking

[srtarita]

I'm at 32 weeks, going to the Dr.office today.  For the past week and a half I'm noticing my feet swelling up like balloons; my socks seem to be too tight even the ankle ones and my gym shoes, well I think I need to get some new ones that are extremely wide.  I know we may swell as we get further along just wonder if anyone else has experienced this towards the end of pregenency?  
Also, part 2 of question, I drink lots of water at least 70 oz., I try to get to the bathroom every half hour but at times I notice my panties are a little damp; it does smell like pee.  I think my baby girl is bouncing off my bladder:)  Does anyone know how amionic fluid (ok spelling is off I believe) leaks are to look like or smell?

Thank you!  I too have a desk job and I sometimes forget to put my feet up on this box I have under my desk:) Thanks again.  I'll try not to drink so much liquids but sometimes I get soo thristy I can't help it.  I live in chicago so the winter here is extemely cold and the job decides to put the heat up to make their own sauna, well to me it's a sauna, too funny:)  I've never felt so warm/hot in my life, I usually run cold.  I'm glad I'm pregnent now and not the summer, that would be too hot!

lol... its thinner... thats the only way I can explain the diffrence.. Mel will comment on me there smile . maybe its more oil base.? hard to explain. but I have felt the diffrence.
with me coughing up my lungs and all... I know I leaked some. My ob told me not to worry.
I too later in my first prego.. got the swelling.. desk job. lucky all was fine. guess its normal for that late in pregancy.. also dont drink too much water. really only 8-10 glasses really needed per day. what your body doesnt take will hold..

my hands and face are fine, just seems to be the legs that are starting to swell.

swelling is normal but excessive swelling needs to be looked at as a sign of preeclampsia.. be careful and put a call in to your dr just in case...  

how are your hands and face?...
