How far along are you? Does your swelling indent (pitting edema) if you press on the front of your shin?

I'm 24 wks. Yes, that's what the picture is. I have at least 3 plus pitting edema from the knees down. I had severe pre-eclampsia with my first pregnancy that resulted in an emergency C-Section delivery @ 31 wks due to complications of the pre-eclampsia. My OB did a PIH panel last week & it was fine, but the edema has been persistent.

not sure where you live but if it is hot like it is here in PA I was told it is totally normal. Make sure you are getting all your fluids in (100oz+) and resting with your feet up whenever possible. I was told only to worry if it didn't go down at night when you sleep. If they are painful you can also lay in bed with them propped up above your heart to help make it easier for your heart to pump it back into your system.
