Anyone's fingers hurting?!

Question

I feel pretty good. It's just so damn hard to move around with this huge belly. I have Lorenzo help me tie my shoes and sometimes pants are a challenge! The swelling is the worst and then there's sleeping which is hard lately because I wake up with numb hands and constantly have to get up to pee. My fingers have been retaining water (wtf?) and they hurt when I first get up, along with my feet-I feel like I have arthritis...which is crazy because I didn't have these issues in the last pregnancy! Must be a hot weather thing or I'm just way bigger this time. (Weight gain is still under 30) 😏

Answer

Yes! Every morning I have to basically massage my fingers for a while so they can work properly! I'm constantly dropping things and my belly is too big to bend down and pick up stuff. My hubby usually comes home to a lot of random stuff on the floor. He doesn't say anything as he knows I'll probably start crying. I hate feeling like I can't do anything for myself.

Answer

Yes!! I told my doctor it felt like I had arthritis. She joked that pregnancy is preparing us for being old. 😉

Answer

Mine feel tight so I catch myself opening and closing my hand constantly. It's funny though, I've had zero swelling in my feet.

Answer

Same with my fingers though I don't notice swelling. I found that when I wake up at night, I make sure my hands are curved and against my body (like making a loose fist and putting it against my stomach). If my hand is flat I think it makes it worse, not sure why.

Answer

Yes! They feel so stubby that I keep dropping things - especially my keys which is no fun to have to bend over and pick up!

Answer

Yes!!!!!! So glad i am not the only one!!! My fingers are so so so sore and sometimes they  stuck in one spot! And my poor ankles are sore as well even when they aren't swollen ! Hoping with weather break I won't swell as much !

Answer

I feel like my hands are swelling but SO says its in my head. Sometimes it hurts to move my fingers and tjey feel like trying to bend balloons. Especially if I just get out of a hot shower or done scrubbing the floor.

Answer

Yes! This started happening to me this week! It's worse for me in the evenings. Never would have thought this would be a 3rd trimester pregnancy complaint. I've found that heat helps with the pain, but it probably is the best for the swelling.

Answer

I have sore fingers too. Happened my last pregnancy as well, unfortunately it never went away and i had to get some cortisone shots 8 weeks pp.
