Swollen fingers in early pregnancy
For the past 2 weeks my fingers have been swelling so I can't wear my
wedding rings. My ankles are normal. I usually get swollen fingers quite late on in pregnancy. Is this normal early on? I am almost 8 weeks pregnant. Andrea (UK) EDD 14th October |

Keep an eye on your blood pressure until you can get to the doctor, just in case, and drink plenty of water. You might cut back partially (not completely) on salt, and see if that helps. Your body needs sodium to move fluids, but maybe you're just getting way too much, and that's causing the edema. You may just be gaining weight more quickly with this one than you did with your previous pregnancies... Amy |

Someone said if you have that and an early + pregnancy test it could mean you are having twins... I sure hope not!!!! Andrea (UK) mom of 5 and edd 14th October. |

I wear my wedding rings on a necklace during my swollen finger days.

Is this normal early on? I am almost 8 weeks pregnant. Have you been drinking enough water? In Australia, at least, sweeling on its own is not consdered a sign of pre-eclampsia unless it is of very sudden onset and extreme. Plenty of women have swelling without pe. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "In Melbourne there is plenty of vigour and eagerness, but there is nothing worth being eager or vigorous about."
