It's great to see you in the 3rd tri! I too have had lots of swelling this pregnancy, i have had it checked out a few times but it seems everything is ok, i just swell.
If you have any acute swelling, or it changes dramatically get it checked out asap.
I have only one pair of shoes that fit, and bought another pair that are 4 sizes bigger than my usual size! i sure hope they go back to normal later.
If you are having pain, a physio can help. My hands get really sore, because the nerves going through the wrist are being compressed by the swelling. The physio showed me, and my partner, how to gently massage the fluid away from the hands. Also wearing tubigrip on your hands and forearms can help, as well as keeping your arms high when you can- rest them on your belly or a pillow over night.
