sudden (?) swelling in feet

My 4th pregnancy. .. i have never had swelling with my 1st 3. Today i got home from work and put some socks on.  Was eating dinner and realized that my sock was cutting into my foot on one side.  Took it off and was surprised to see my feet swollen. Don't know if it was swollen throughout the day and I just didn't notice it or it came on quickly after i put on the socks.... i know swelling is common during pregnancy but also read that sudden swelling could be a sign of blood clots..... anyone been in this situation?

When I come home from work my feet ache but are not a swollen, it is important to elevate your feet, this brings blood back to the rest of your body from being on them for hours. Also helps with preventing varicose veins. I lay on my back and put my legs against the wall, I try for a 90¤ angle, you can literally feel the blood going back to the rest of your body. Very relieving :) hope this helps!

Swelling could happen at any time and every pregnancy isnt the same, no matter how many you've had. Swelling is always all of a sudden unless you've been on your feet for an entire day. Try staying off of them for a while and look up some home remedies to help out.

My feet just started swelling. I am 38+5 weeks. I work 12 hour shift, standing almost the whole time. So, I was surprised it just started happening.  I also live in Florida and it is almost 90 degrees everyday.  I did with my first pregnancy as well. It actually started much earlier, but I was due in the summer.  It can happen quite quickly in pregnancy.
