Swollen fingers?

Question

Could swollen fingers be related to blood pressure, my fingers have been very swollen lately and my mum said it could be my blood pressure. Is this related?

Answer

I am 38+2 I have had really bad swelling to my feet and fingers and have carpal tunnel syndrome in my hands, where it feels like you have arthritis, fingers are numb like pins and needles very painful and annoying. My Blood pressure has been up and down and I have been monitored also had a small trace of protein in my urine. With all this that can lead to signs of pre eclampsia, blood pressure has gone up & down and I have been put at a low risk pregnancy. Just keep an eye on it and mention it to the midwife when you next see her. X

Answer

I've started to swell..36 weeks pregnant and 85 degrees here in Georgia and blood pressure is 100% normal, I think it just comes with the territory!!

Answer

They used to consider that a sign of preeclampsia but now no longer really consider it a sign. Most, if not all, women will swell during pregnancy. I would make sure that your blood pressures look good as a precaution though.

Answer

It could be. But this late in pregnancy it could also just be that lovely extra water retention. If you're concerned, go see your doctor and they can check blood pressure easy peasy. Better safe than sorry when it comes to baby!

Answer

Yes!
