Swelling from varicose veins? (Photos)

Hi all,

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and have had varicose veins my whole adult life. Today my 1 leg is so swollen and uncomfortable. I have no ankle left! This red patch of skin has appeared also. It's almost like eczema(?) but its not itchy (see photo). My skin has gone shiny especially around my ankle and its just dreadful. I'm at a loss with what to do at this point!

Any tips on how to relieve some of this swelling?

(I should add I've had a scan for DVT a few weeks ago which was clear.)

Thank you!
