What Could Cause Sudden Swelling,bad Headache And Shortness Of Breath?

I am currently almost 35 weeks pregnant. And today I have had some sudden swelling in my body along with a bad headache and shortness of breath. I m not sure if it s something I should be concerned with. I haven t been on my feet all day so I didn t think the swelling was normal.
