Hi there,

just wondering whether anyone has developed REALLY painful finger joints during (not before) pregnancy?

Within weeks of falling pregnant a couple of joints in each hand were really sore to touch and bend. Gradually this has evolved to include most finger joints and knuckles. My OB, who I love, thinks its just from being a bit fluid-retentive BUt I really think it could be more than that.

The pain is so bad that when I roll over at night and reach for my pillow to replace under the belly, my hands just scream out in pain.

Any thoughts?
