Massive swelling without high BP at 34 wks

My BP and urine checks have been fine thus far but as of the last week or two I've had a lot of swelling, in my hands and now pitting edema in my feet. Today at the dr my BP was normal but I've gained 15lbs in the past 3 weeks from all the fluid retention. My back has been getting more and more sore but so far I don't feel any liver pain I was warned about. Have other people had this much swelling without it actually being pre-eclampsia? I now have weekly appts for monitoring but very worried that I could miss a symptom and have something bad happen quickly.

    I had major swelling in my thighs and legs that hurt to touch. It started around 27-28 weeks when I was pregnant with DD. My BP was fine. They thought it was DVT but all scans turned out ok. I never got an answer as DD arrived early. My water broke at 33w 1d and she was born 3 days later. The swelling was immediately relieved.

    It really can depend. When I had pre e I gained 35 pounds in 10 days. I was swollen for a while prior but without abnormal bp nor spilling protein it's just swelling
