I am five weeks pregnant and my ankles have suddenly gone like balloons. is this normal?

Not normal at 5 wks: We usually expect water retention and swelling to happen in the third trimester. I would ask your OB to have a look at your ankles and make sure your blood pressure is normal and there aren't any other issues.
