Swelling

in 3rd Trimester
Im 35w and 1d and the past 4 days my feet have been swelling to the point they feel bruised. And i can barely walkon them. I know swelling is normal but this much? I heard that alot of swelling can be serious. I drink lots of water i sleep on my left side and i put my feet up alot to try and make it go down. But it doesnt help. Any thoughts?

    I had to check my BP it was 128/80 at 1ish i cant remember my last BP so idk if its higher then my last but anyway i checked it again around 5 and it was 131/70. I was told if my symptoms got worse to go in. She was concerned more because ive been having bad head ache for about 3 weeks now that dont really go away. But not to worried. Im still a little worried because i cant monitor my BP like they want me too.

    It seems like the more water i drink the more my head hurts and the more i put my feet up the more they get swollen.

    Did you check with your doctor? Follow few tips which gives you some relief. Don't cross your legs or ankles while sitting, stretch your legs frequently while sitting and take regular breaks from standing and sitting.
