I have swollen feet and hands. My doctor said it's normal.  I'm 38 weeks and my blood pressure has been great the whole pregnancy.

Mine just started feeling stiff because of all the swelling. Doctor said it was normal. But my bp is low. (I guess it is the high blood pressure that worries doctors.)

You should call your doctor / nurse line.  If you have not had any high blood pressure issues they may tell you to elevate your feet.  I guess I thought that meant lay down, but it means you can lay or sit with a blanket or towel or pillows under your feet so they are higher than the rest of you.  My feet were crazy this week but my legs seem ok.  Keep an eye on Your face and hands.  If more areas puff, call your staff.  That is what they told me.  If you had any blood pressure readings that were high you should be extra careful beacuse they worry about pre eclampsia.   Please be careful!   I am not a doctor or anything but I just called yesterday for ny puffy feet so I thought I would reply.  At least we are near the end and the little cuties are coming soon!!!!  :)
