Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concern and anxiety about it.
Swelling of feet is common at this stage of pregnancy and usually subsides in morning after overnight rest.
But still to be in safer side get a spot urine protein test done and get your blood pressure checked.
Also if ultrasound scanning is due then get it done too and then we can discuss the reports.
Take care.
