Knuckle Pain

MWM0903

I have been waking up in the morning with pain in the knuckles of my hands. As the day progresses it gets less and less. However, if I lay down for a nap I wake up with the same pain. This morning my arms actually hurt too. I feel like I'm 70 with all these joints popping. Anyone else have this issue or know what it is?

Yep.   I have to wiggle my fingers to sort of warm them up and get them going.   I believe it's from fluid retention in the joints.

Yes I have it too! You aren't alone.

Oh good  It's weird that it makes me feel better to know that others are experiencing the same aches and pains.  "Misery loves company."

I have that too, but it's more in my fingers, then my knuckles. It takes 10 minutes of moving my fingers to feel "normal". I guess it's another lovely side effect of pregnancy.

Nah, its natural to feel better to know what you're experiencing is normal and not any kind of problem!

I'm right there with you! I'm trying to write out my shower thank you notes and can barely hold a pen it hurts so much! 15 days left until my due date and I'm so done!!

Me too! my knuckles/hands hurt every morning. Kinda nice to know that other people are experiencing the same thing.  This whole fluid retention thing is getting old...
