    It can be completely normal, but if you're unsure, always call your midwife or gynecologist.

    Is it really just one leg? Not anywhere else? Is it not painful/red/warm?

    It's mainly a foot and ankle that are a bit swollen.. The midwife has been by.. Blood pressure 130/90, almost at the limit.. No signs of pre-eclampsia as the urine test showed.. Will check blood pressure again tomorrow.

    Glad you checked! I was thinking about blood clots, hence my questions

    He was indeed quite warm and started to hurt quite a bit too..

    I didn't do anything today, stayed home all day with my foot elevated, and now it's finally starting to go down a bit.
