Water retention in knuckles during the night
Angelcake

Hey, did anyone else have this? My fingers get so swollen and I have to wiggle my fingers to loosen them up because it hurts too much to use them. Today, my pinky knuckle is aching from it and I can't seem to get it to go away. If you have had this, how do you make it go away?

Re: Water retention in knuckles during the night
Sorry AC, but welcome to late pg. Things rapidly get worse in the last month.
It sounds counter intuitive, but drinking water will help. Drink as much as you can stand, but in this heat you may not have much luck. I had managed to hold back the swelling by staying hydrated until we had that heat wave in late May. (I would have also been about 37/38 weeks).
Mention it to your dr at your next apt, since swelling can be an indicator for problems - although it's also completely normal on a hot day at ~37 wks.
