Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

Swelling during pregnancy, especially when confined to your lower extremities is very common. It can be a sign of blood pressure problems so you should check with your doctor and make sure that this is not a concern. It is not unusual to have an increased sensitivity of the skin when it has been swollen and then the swelling goes away. This is not such a concerning sign, but remember to check with your doctor about your blood pressure and continue to keep your feet elevated.

I hope that this helps and good luck!
