swelling....

My feet calves and thighs are so swollen that my right leg is of no use and I can't walk. Should I go to the hospital? Or just keep waiting to see if they go down?

I would at least call your Dr. Some swelling is a part of pregnancy but excessive to the point of not having function of your leg could mean a possible blood clot.

If it's to the point that you can't walk, I would definitely see the doctor. Could be preclampsia.

Sometimes it takes a while and if you are in your last trimester then they will probably stay swollen
