One swollen foot?

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have been quite lucky with symptoms so far (missing out the first trimester which was something in itself!). The last couple of days I've had one swollen foot (left) and wondered if anyone else had experienced this? I've not had swelling in my hands, legs or ankles, though I think my right foot might be very slightly swollen too but nothing very noticeable. I had the same thing happen to my left foot about a month ago but it went down after 2 or so days and hasn't come back until now.

I have a midwife appointment in a few weeks but I'm not sure whether I should call up now or just wait until the appointment and mention it then. It feels better than yesterday and seems to be going down again. I've had no pain in my legs, no high temperature, etc but have read about this being a potential sign of a blood clot?

I would get it checked, sounds like a circulation problem but if it's a blood clot could be very dangerous, not worth the risk.

I think the rule is if one is noticeably bigger than the other (foot or hand) to call in

Probably best to get it checked. I get this to some degree because I have a varicose vein in one leg, so that foot has a tendency to swell more dramatically. Be particularly on the lookout for any redness, tenderness or pain in the calf of the swollen foot.

I had this. It started with my left foot and then my right foot caught up. Terrible by the end as well (though that was probably because it was August as well).

Nothing wrong though. Ob wasn't even that interested (he's a man of few words).

Got one left swollen foot. Is it worth ringing PAU for advise? I’m 32 weeks have high BMI do have epilepsy but not diabetes. Anyone any ideas? Right foot is fine not signs of swelling. Thanks.
