You will have to find whether only clitoris is swollen or there is swelling on the feet and face also. Urinary infection or raised blood pressure during pregnancy can cause swelling. If it is spread all over, it can affect even the external genitals also.
Please get her urine examined.
There is another possibility of having some local infection - particularly fungal one. Please get examined from your Obstetrician to find out and treat if needed.
Is she having any curdy vaginal discharge? This indicates fungal infection.
These infections if left untreated may affect the baby - particularly eyes of the baby.
I hope you got the answer.
If you want to discuss further, you may ask me a direct question with all the reports ready.
