I totally hear you with the swelling. Mine seem worse in the mornings after sleeping! I live in a house with stairs and going down them in the morning feels really strange because the fluid build up prevents them bending properly It seems to creep up my legs as well into my calves, so they feel really hard with the fluid. Not long to go now though, and apparently after bubs is born you do a nice long wee and get rid of alot of it (I am really hoping this is true).
