Hand swelling before labor?

BD

My blood pressure is consistently monitored by my ob and I also have my own BP machine because I have GD and am at higher risk of developing pre-eclampsia. So far, it has been totally normal and my ob isn’t worried.

But I’ve had constant swelling in my feet and ankles over the last few weeks and as of about a week ago, my hands have been swelling so badly (particularly when sleeping at night) that I’ve developed carpal tunnel in both of them.

Did anyone else have this before they gave birth? I’m wondering if it’s just one of those yuck 3rd trimester things 🥴
