See your OB: You are probably seeing your OB weekly now, and they should be monitoring you for toxemia. If you are not developing it, this is exaggerated pregnancy swelling, due to the enlarged uterus carrying twins. You need to elevate your feet as much as possible. Drink lots of water to flush your kidneys. If you have access to one, just floating in a pool can lift the babies up off your pelvis.
