Swollen feet at 36+3. Anyone else?

I've noticed my feet, particularly the left one, have become swollen/puffy over the last 24hours. They are not painful or itchy and they have no pins & needles in them. It's not stopping me from walking. I was just wondering if this is cause for any sort of alarm? And I was wondering if anyone else has this or has had this before in the past?

i have had this for the past 4 weeks had mentioned it to my midwife who didnt seem too concerned as my urine and blood pressure was fine, they did advise to keep feet up as much as possible preferably raised above the heart and to drink plenty of fluids. if anything else swells then id be contacting ur midwife also esp if u feel unwell, blurred vision or headaches can be a sign of pre eclampsia (pardon my spelling)

Thanks for your reply, I've rung the hospital and they've said swelling is quite common but to monitor it and call them back/go up if accompanied by headache, feeling unwell, chest pain or flashing lights.
