Should I call someone?

Maybe give your maternity unit a call, just to either get their advise or they might ask you to go in. But at least then your mind will be at ease 😊

Hiya I wake up some mornings with the same thing. I’ve previously been told it’s heat or water retention related. I brought a blood pressure machine to keep an eye on that and thankfully that’s been ok. I hope you’ve managed to speak to someone x

My hands are the exact same, I called maternity unit and they said there isn’t much they can do except if it gets too bad then they can give hand brace type things to help with the pain when you bend,
Mine is usually worse in the mornings then goes down during the day times😊

Carpal tunnel and normal pregnancy swelling x

I'm 36+4 and of a morning I have been suffering the same with the carpal tunnel aswell really tight to squeeze my hands but it goes throughout the day I was also told it's common not to worry x

Thanks everyone - I decided I felt well and have called anyone.. if it happens again tomorrow I might just to be on the safe side xx

One of my hands and both feet are like this since this morning too, I was wondering the same thing

I think it depends how sudden it is, if you're a bit swollen on and off but if it's a sudden change then definitely worth calling to check. Also if you press with a finger and it leaves an indent in the swelling then definitely call and be seen to be safe

@Helena I haven't had any swelling at all until this morning. It's gone down a fair amount during the day though 😊

ah that's good if it's gone down already:) guess just keep an eye and most likely absolutely nothing to worry about

If you don't have dont blood pressure . When you sleep you might be curling your hands in and cutting off circulation. This happened with my aunt alot. Her doctor told her you wear a wrist brace to sleep to prevent it.

It’s just swelling it’s normal x
