Congrats on 38 wks but sorry you're feeling so crummy   I would only worry about your feet if it happened out of the blue and very quickly.  Then I'd call my dr just because it can be a sign of pre-e. Only a small % of women get pre-e  though so it prob. isn't anything - just normal preg. swelling.

Also - your post totally made me smile.  I think 35/35 refers to 35 weeks and 35 days left to go to EDD.  So actually you should be 38/14.  Don't give yourself more days Mama! Maybe you'll deliver late, but I would think you don't want an extra 24 days of being preggo - I know I don't!

haha I was thinking the same thing I was trying to figure out how 38 weeks = 38 days and got scared for a minute adding on extra days to my 19
