GO SEE A DOCTOR!!!!! i was fortunate that i didn't swell much during my pregnancy, but i have known women who ballooned up due to preeclampsia. even if it's nothing, it's far better for you and your baby bean to be one million percent positive.
in the absence of that, drink lots of water and elevate your feet as much as possible/comfortable as it may also be fluid retention.

Check your blood pressure, if it is normal then probably nothing serious is wrong. My doctor always told me to drink more water. He said it will flush out the swelling. He said your body will hold water when it thinks it is not getting enough.

Are you eating alot of salt? Standing or walking alot? Is this your first pregnancy? Have you gained alot of weight? These are all contributing factors for edema.
