Help! Giant feet! Is this normal?

I’m nearly 36 weeks pregnant and over the past couple of weeks I’ve noticed my feet/ankles swelling up. My blood pressure has always been fine so I don’t think it’s preeclampsia. Dr noticed last week and said to monitor. I hadn’t given it much thought as they’re not really bothering me, but for the last week I noticed the bottom of my feet are turning like a dark purple/black colour. Has anyone else had or heard or this?

I would ring MAU and they can advise.

I swelled a lot near the end of didn't change colour.

Definitely get into triage for an assessment. I am a midwife and I’d want to see you.

I’ll ring MAU tomorrow. @ForLoveNotMoney Have you seen it before?
