Drinking alot of water foesnt give you water retention, dont get the idea wrong. Its norm to swell during pregnancy. Continue your water :) infact not enough water will cause severe water retention. U can try elevating your legs a little, will feel much relieve.

Normal during 3rd trim because our blood circulation will be much more slower as baby pressing on us. What U can do is, drink more water, eat less salty stuff, wear compression stockings or lift up your leg against the wall or put a pillow below when sleeping.

Continue to elevate and drink water. Drinking more water is actually better contrary to popular beliefs. When you drink more water, your body will not over compensate by retaining water in your body! Two more weeks, you can do it!

Once your leg deswollen, it’s an indication you’ll go into labour soon.

Keep the leg elevated. Only 2 more weeks, all the best!!
