Sudden edema in cankles and hooves!? 32w3d

I've been working in 90 degree weather and I have two jobs. One at a school and one as a waitress. Both places have no a/c. I came home to relax and start dinner. After sitting down for and hour  I looked at my feet and WOW! Hippo hooves were in place of my tiny pygmy feet!! I've been elevating for an hour now with no change. I'm slightly worried.. Should I call the doctor? Can I work safely? Anyone else having this issue?

Ok great.. I just slept 9 hours and most of the swelling went down. They've been swelling just not that bad.

I work in a restaurant also, AC is not working well there either! I get bad swelling after a few days in a row on my feet, it goes down on my day off if I take it easy. I wouldn't worry, seems like it's pretty normal
