Is Pregnancy Causing Swelling With Water Retention?

I have a friend with one week to go until her due date. She is retaining some water with swelling. The last several days she has had severe pain in her jaw up into her ear. Nothing helps. She's tried Tylenol, ice packs, and even heat. Is this a side effect of pregnancy, or is it most likely something unrelated?
