You gotta go and be seen to solve problems immediately. Good luck.
Sudden swelling is not normal ... Call your DR
It could be preeclampsia or blood poisoning, which could lead to serious problems. If so, the child must go!
Symptoms.
Signs of preeclampsia include high blood pressure (hypertension) and the presence of excess protein in the urine (proteinuria) after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Excess protein is associated with kidney problems. Your doctor can identify these signs of pre-eclampsia in one of her regular prenatal visits.
Other signs and symptoms of preeclampsia - which can develop gradually or suddenly meet, which often include in the final weeks of pregnancy -:
* Severe headache
* Changes in vision, including temporary loss of vision, blurred vision or sensitivity to light
* Upper abdominal pain, usually in the right costal
* Nausea or vomiting
* Dizziness
* Decreased urine output
* Sudden weight gain, usually about 2 pounds per week
Swelling (edema), especially in the FAEC and hands, often accompanies preeclampsia as well. Inflammation is not considered a reliable sign of preeclampsia, however, because it also occurs in many normal pregnancies.

Swelling of a sudden and severe headache could be the start of pre-eclampsia. The condition is too serious not to monitor. Talk with whom is on call to L & D and get their advice. I suppose you want to enter
