All is well at my end.

Have you done something, lifting or benting or some type of yogas, that could have been a cause of swelling.

it's true that from mid of second trimester swelling can take place and can get worse as you approach the term. This is perimarily due to fluid retention.

I don't however think you are fluid retention case as you don't have it inboth legs. Is it that you hurt leg. Looks nothing to do with pregnancy trouble. Applying some balm (check with your Dr) should help it subside if that's because you hurt leg unknowingly.

Your baby is fine no matter what. The concern has nothing to do with your baby.

I would give a casual call to your Dr. and investigate on.

Walking is needed from second trimester till you deliver, that's the simplest exercise you could do.

Take care
Archie
