Agree w above.. I never had swollen feet/hands w my 1st 2 pregnancies. My 3rd however, I started swelling around 25wks. I couldn't wear my wedding bands. My ankles also would be swollen. I didn't gain a lot of weight only 30lbs total for the entire pregnancy. What I noticed helped me was wearing my tennis shoes, if I did my ankles would not swell. I think having my feet better supported. But my hands stayed swollen the entire pregnancy I had to stop wearing my wedding rings completely.

You have only 6 weeks left to be considered full term. Swelling of feet is not very unusual at your stage. Swelling of face or hands/fingers is usually a cause for concern.
Call your ob and get yourself cleared of any other possibilities just to be on the safer side. This is just so that you have a peace of mind.
