Everything is gonna swell. Put ice one it or soak it in Epson salt. Keep it elevated also

Only thing I would recommend is drink lots of water and elevate the foot as much as possible.

It could be pre-eclampsia I’d got to L&D to get checked just to be safe

Could be something to be concerned about; could be normal water retention. Keep it elevated and just monitor it; if all else, call your doctor and see what they suggest. It’s never a bad thing to call and ask questions, you aren’t bugging them, it’s part of their job.

Raw ginger… Soak ur foot in warm water and raw ginger

If you have your own BP cuff, you can monitor from home. If it’s just one ankle it could be an injury or from your ligaments being stressed. If you have other swelling (face, hands, both feet) and other symptoms like headaches, blurred vision, seeing spots, then yes I’d go to L&D or simply call a nurse on call and ask their advice. I wouldn’t be running to the hospital for one swollen ankle though with no other alarms. Prop it up, epsom salt soaks
