Hello
As you mentioned that there is severe pain in legs as well as swelling due to sunburn.
The most important cause of concern is your are 5 month pregnant and swelling over legs is a cause of concern. However , there are so many creams for sunburn but you shouldn't use them because of pregnancy .
First of all consult a gynecologist and get his opinion regarding swelling over legs . Dermatologist will prescribe you proper sunburn cream because of pregnancy.
Good luck.
