The worst culprit in swelling feet and lower leg is fluid retention. This is usually closely linked with hypertension. Excessive consumption of sodium and being immobile can make it worse. Medications can have edema like this as a side effect. Severe edema of the feet can also a symptom of conditions such as hypothyriodism and congestive heart failure. If your feet are swelling badly and the swelling is involving the ankles and calves I would go see a doctor.

Diabetes, Kidney conditions, Congestive Heart Failure, Water retention (high sodium intake), Allergic Reactions, and more.
Most people don't have swelling of their ankles until late in pregnancy (third trimester).

Excess fluid! To get rid of it drink lot of Barley water. Boil some Barley in water and drink it all throughout the day. If your body has a tendency to retain water, this is the best home remedy. Keep drinking it. You can also try eating dates because it also maybe due to being anemic. Hope its useful.
