Id call asap. If your swelling that bad and its not going down then call. Also the headache that is combined with the swelling is something to be cautious about. I agree it sounds like preeclampsia but Ur doctor knows best.

hana,  you should probably call.   Preeclampsia can come up so fast - better to let them know.  Your swelling sounds significant.  

130/90 is kind of beginning to creep up there - it's not like 110/60 where you could just say you are fine with blood pressure.

It's normal cause you're getting closer to labor I'm a bit swollen too and didn't start till my 35th week. I wouldn't worry as long as u don't have a high blood pressure problem. Just elevate your feet. Mine hurt so bad just from stepping on the floor :/good luck

I would call because of the combination of swelling and headaches. Especially if you have a puffy face and hands, it could be preeclampsia. If you feel something isn't right call, thts what they're there for! I developed preeclampsia at 37 weeks with no signs of high blood pressure until then. You know your body better than anyone else, good luck! :)
