Vienna sausage fingers

I was tested last week for preeclampsia and it came back negative. My hands for the past few weeks tho have been extra swollen. This week especially i can barely make a fist without it hurting. Even trying to grab my body pillow in the middle of the night is a struggle. Anyone else??

I am 37.5 weeks along and cannot wait for this to go away!

    Me too. My fingers were totally fine up until 37.5!! Then in the middle of the night woke up and couldn't get my rings off! I'm 38.1 now and can barely make a fist without a little soreness. I'm sure it's just 'one of those things' I took a picture at the beach yesterday and upon re looking at it my fingers look crazy swollen, in fact exactly like Vienna sausages.. Hang in there- we're almost done. I attached the picture just for fun those fingers look like I cut them off a dead body floating in the water!!

    I've been saying hotdog fingers and Vienna sausage toes! :)
    The swelling has caused carpal tunnel and my arms and fingers go numb off and on throughout the night. Ah, the joys.

    The only the thing that helps me is drinking obscene amounts of water. I'm in south florida and I normally swell a bit in the summer regardless but I notice if I'm not drinking at least 100 oz/day my hands and toes will hurt so much!

    I drink a gallon of water a day, literally fill it in the morning and it is gone by the time I settle down for bed. And watch my salt intake...it helps tremendously with the swelling. I had the same thing going on and had to remedy it because I was so much more uncomfortable than I needed to be!
