I started swelling around then too and I was SO worried bc I am a ftm. I am now 24w4d. I asked my doctor, and she said that she isn't very worried bc my blood pressure is normal and I was tested for blood clots and I am totally fine. Then, last week it was cooler outside (in the Boston area) and I noticed my feet weren't swelling as badly. Since Sunday it's been hot out again and the swelling came back! I think it has to do with the weather (for me anyways!). It's going to be an interesting summer! However I don't want to complain one bit because we had the worst winter in the world out here last February! I am trying to be grateful...swollen feet and all!

I didn't get swelling till I was 27 Weeks.  Now 28 weeks. I don't think it's a bad thing to get swelling being so early.  But just keep your feet elevated, stay away from walking as much and doing things to make your feet sore.  Try and soak your feet in Epson salt and get massages!

I'm not sure about swelling, but I wouldn't doubt it. I do know that your  feet can grow up to a full size bigger while pregnant and they may not go back down in size.

I don't think it is abnormal. My feet have felt swollen for a couple of weeks and I am 22 weeks. Though yesterday I was doing chores all day and when my husband and I finally sat on the couch and I put my feet up he pointed out how puffy my feet looked. Now my shoes are starting to get tight, so looks like sandals for at least the rest of the summer. Oh and my husband was kind enough to point out how I also have cankles! I didn't care, I just laughed and asked for a foot rub ;-)
