If your bp and urine routine test are normal, leg swelling is due to fluid accumulation. You may need a doctors check up at first to confirm its not due to blood clots (thrombosis). Normal pregnancy swelling aggravates in evenings and improves by morning. While resting keep them elevated over pillows. Avoid prolonged standing. If you are sitting, use a padded stool to support the legs and feet.
