Yeah. It's pretty common. It could be a sign of toxemia (they've changed the name of that and I can't remember what it is now) at worst. You might want to try cutting down on salty foods and drinks, anything high in sodium really and increase your water intake. But my feet and ankles were so bad with my first, it was like memory foam and nothing helped.
Good luck, I hope it gets better.
