Do they hurt or are they just swollen?

My feet hurt when I am on my feet to long, but they haven't swelled up yet.

Re: Swelling

Put them up higher than your heart or lie on your left side. Also you may want to call your ob/gyn to let them know. While it's definitely normal, you want to let them know.

From Babycenter.com
When should I be concerned about swelling?
A certain amount of edema is normal in the ankles and feet during pregnancy. You may also have some mild swelling in your hands.

Call your midwife or doctor if you notice swelling in your face or puffiness around your eyes, more than slight swelling of your hands, or excessive or sudden swelling of your feet or ankles. This could be a sign of preeclampsia, a serious condition.

Also call your caregiver if you notice that one leg is significantly more swollen than the other, especially if you have any pain or tenderness in your calf or thigh

Re: Swelling

No pain at all, just swelling. Im going to keep my legs up and drink a lot of water this weekend ( I know my sodium intake is terrible) If they stay the same or get worse by Monday I will give my doctor a call... This stinks!
