Swelling or fat

I've noticed my face has become relatively ROUNDER lately and I can't distinguish whether it's just weight or swelling, I haven't really changed my eating pattern.. I've woken up today feeling like I've got a face like Thomas the tank engine😢 how do you know if it's swelling?
38 weeks btw!

I think this has happened to my legs... Even though I don't really seem to have put weight on elsewhere - last time I put on my new maternity jeans I could barely bend my legs in them!

Lets just say its water retention, eh?!

Haha, yeah that's why it's baffling considering there isn't extra weight elsewhere.. we will definitely say its water retention and call it a day!😁
I don't understand how you're meant to tell the difference if it is swelling
