I was so swollen by 32 weeks (had preeclampsia) with my first. I'd go to CVS And check your bp.

As far as shoes... idk if its cold where you are but I got the adjustable adidas sandals(not the ones with bumps on them) and they helped a lot because my feet wouldn't fit into ANY shoes. Good lick

Im 36wks today and can barely get out of bed my feet and legs are badly swollen, once u have no headache, ur bloodpressure is normal and urine is normal well then u just have to grin and bare it. Thats what the midwife told me yesterday. She said elevate ur feet a tiny bit in bed but not too much, if u suffer with pelvic problems the blood can flow back up and make ur pelvis worse so only elavate them a tiny bit. Oh the joys of pregnancy. Its just one thing after another!
