I'm concerned about the swelling in one foot. It may be nothing serious, but make sure your doctor is aware, as swelling in only one lower extremity can sometimes be a sign of deep vein thrombosis (clot in your leg), especially if you're at high risk for clots.

I hv experienced that our dat side foot swells which side the baby is on mostly, my first preg i had my left foot swollen n my girl was on my left i was told n felt too.
Allergy n cough i hv been having since Mon last week, being an asthma patient i hvnt had dis bad attacks before. But now i had to go see a specialist in allergies who put me on an inhaler for cough n also two types of anti allergy pills. I hv been hving bad cough n flu with running nose n watery eyes. Felt so much body aches n pains like i was run down by a truck. Gradually the med seems to work n i m getting mucus while coughing. Before it was all dry cough non stop.
