Hello,
Thanks for posting your query,
Well the swollen clitoris could be an infection or simply due to overstimulation of the clitoris causing a type of swelling. During pregnancy, you might develop swelling of some of your body parts. Personally I have experienced only swelling of the vulva but hardly clitoris.
I do not feel that you are experiencing any serious problem that requires you being worried. How ever if it is painful or sore and maybe red, then it is probably an infection which might require a course of antibiotics and antiinflammatory to take of it. If no signs of inflammation, then you may just leave the swelling as it appears, it would likely resolve on its own.
Hope this helps
