See your doctor : You need to see your doctor as soon as possible, to be sure you do not have preeclampsia, a condition of some pregnancies with swelling, high blood pressure, and protein in the urine. This needs to be checked as it can cause seizures. In the meantime, lay down with your legs elevated higher than your heart level for an hour in the AM and PM, and watch salt in your diet. Good luck!
