Swollen fingers?

Question

Just woke up this morning and my fingers are swollen and stiff. I had trouble taking my wedding ring off and it freaked me out. Anyone else? I'll be 22 weeks on Saturday. I didn't think it would be this early. Scared of it being a sign of preclamsia.

Answer

I wake up like that every morning. My doctor does a lot of test on me and it came back fine. I think as long as it is not constantly and progressively worse you should be fine. Being swollen is okay, and normal. Being overly swollen with urinary problem I may worry then. Im not a doctor. This is just my past experience. :)

Answer

I had this happen last week in really hot weather.  Just the heat and water retention.  I was fine a couple days later and was able to wear my wedding rings again.

Answer

With my first I had to remove wedding rings at 20 wks due to swelling bc of water retention

Answer

Or just normal fluid retention. I have this. Especially when hot or ate salty food the night before. Dehydration can cause a bit of this too.

Answer

Have you taken your bp?

Answer

Happened to me a few days ago.... specifically noticed it in my thumbs when I would bend them. It was most pronounced when I woke up (reallllly hot night) and I did take off rings because they were uncomfortable. Now I can wear the rings again, I just take them off at night in case.
