Swelling...

Swelling...

I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow... YEAH! But lately, I have been really swollen and uncomfortable. My hands have been so tight and swollen. I've also been having a hard time picking things up with my left hand too. It hurts and is tingly sometimes in between my thumb and forefinger. That I couldn't of pulled something, who knows? I posted a few days ago about the numbness, but the swelling is quite annoying. My feet do a little bit, and my legs. Is there anything I can do to get the circulation in my hands and arms going a little bit better? Thanks!

I don't have an answer. I suggest that you discuss this with your doctor.

Oh Boy does that bring back memories!! My feet, ankles and hands and fingers were so swollen the last few weeks of my pregnancy. You should check in with your doctor, but unfortunately, there is not much else to do except to keep drinking water and keep your feet up as much as possible - it was a NIGHTMARE commuting into the city like that!! I remember crying once in Penn Station! And the shoes I had to wear - YUCK! Nothing fit. And I had to take my wedding rings off!! It was the only hard thing about my pregnancy!! Don't worry - it will soon be all over! to you - I totally sympathize!!
