Hello ma'am and welcome.
Your body is used to a certain body weight and possible because of the increase in weight pregnancy brings along your feet may be feeling a little more pressure.
Wear more comfortable shoes and also make sure you get your serum uric acid, RA factor and ESR levels checked just to make sure all is well with your foot. An x-ray would also help, so please do consult your doctor with all the above mentioned investigations to rule out any abnormalities.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
