hi yeah its normal, baby can get into an akward position and put to much pressure on your vena cava causing blood to pool in your bits and making them hot and swollen.

try getting on all fours and rocking to shift baby about a bit. Harriet was a bugger for blocking my vena cava and i used to sit on an ice pack to reduce swelling

Definitely normal but not fun at all...

Apparently its very soothing to wear maternity pads from the freezer!

maternity pads from the freezer ummmm may try that one
ive not had the swelling but the tightning and relising of muscles yes ive had those and like Becky said one of the wonderful delights of pregnancy
