Ren I had this too when I was pregnant, and although they were REALLY swollen, BP and protein in urine remained fine throughout. (although initially I did worry about PE like you) One thing I found that really helped was reflexology massage. MMMMMMMMMMMM SOOOOO GOOD! Felt great at the time, and if done properly reduced the swelling for a day or so. Just wish I discovered it earlier in the pregnancy.
