I'm getting similar but in my ankles

I’m getting the same but palms of my hands, some of my finger joints, and my ankles 😭😭

@Katie sorry :((how many weeks are you?

@Robyn how many weeks are you?in the finger joints are so painful right??!

@petal I’m 40 weeks tomorrow 🥲🥲 yes the finger and palm of my hand joints hurt sooooo much. I’d rather my ankles just hurt lol

@Robyn have you been to triage or asked about it? I don’t know what it is!!!

@petal apparently completely normal to an extent. Increased blood flow and water weight means there’s more pressure on the joints, which can cause discomfort. If you have intense swelling in your hands and feet you should get checked out though just incase it’s preeclampsia. Although I have swelling in my hands and feet and it’s not preeclampsia so it’s hit and miss apparently 😂😭

@petal I'm 37+2

my lower back and hips click when i get up out of bed to go for a wee in the night. i’m 28 years old😂

@Aimee relatable girl 😂

@Robyn it’s such a hit and miss isn’t it. ive been having blurred vision, headaches and swelling but no high blood pressure 🤦‍♀️
