See OB: Walking will help move fluid out of your legs and keeping them elevated slightly while sitting will also help. Please see your OB as they know your particular situation and may have a better answer for you.

Surgical stockings: Pressure in the abdominal area from the pregnancy makes it difficult for venous blood to return to the heart. The increased pressure in the veins of the leg causes seepage of fluid into the tissues. Surgical stockings, elevation, ace wraps can counter the swelling.
