excessive swelling!

OK I am 31 weeks FTM and my feet have been swelling for about 4 weeks.. But recently they are to the point they look like balloons.. Cant see any bones in my feet or ankles.. The swelling is going all the way up my legs and the right has been far worse then the left and getting increasingly painful.. Is this normal? Is something wrong?! Please help

I would talk to your doctor asap. A little bit is normal but too much can be a sign of high blood pressure which is bad.

I had that at the 38th week of my.first pregnancy. Do you exercise? This is my 2nd preg and swelling is a little less that i dont as much salty food and exercise at least 4x a week 45min at the gym. I am not sure but I think that helps

Mine went all the way up to my knees and was like that for a while. The nurses would even be like omg wow but the drs always just said its normal or youre pregnant cuz i brought it up at every appointment. I could barely even wear my loose flip flops. I wore my husbands for a bit and they were even tight and his feet are much bigger than mine.
