Swollen body and in pain ??

31 wks and I have swollen from head to toe. My face and hand are swollen but manageable. However my legs hurt real bad. It's difficult to walk now as after 10 min or so my legs start hurting and tummy hardens from any side  making it worse. Has anyone experienced it and has a solution to this ??

Call your doctor. You must check your Blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause the swelling. I hope everything is ok but I'd still call my doctor.

A lot of women swell up toward the end of pregnancy.  Drink plenty of fluid and try to put your feet up whenever possible (above heart level is best).  Those things didn't work for me, maybe for you.   The other solution is delivery, but you don't want to fo that quite yet.  
Good luck.
