Hello
Since , you are 32 weeks pregnant , so this is very common but may be due to these possibilities , these include:
1 Hypertension or hypotension , so get in examination for blood pressure.
2 Anemia , get Hb examination.
3 Hypoglycemia , decrease in sugar level ( general terms ).
As you mentioned that your feet turned blue , this is also common.
Since this is your 4th pregnancy , so get in anti national care and routine examination for pregnancy and routine tests .
Nothing to worry bluish coloration may be due to high blood pressure or anemia .
Rest is also important for pregnant mothers.
So get in routine examination and carry on, have a good wishes for safe pregnancy.
