Ankle pain, wrist pain finger pain.. anybody else had this? Open Forum if needed
by Stacie30, Mar 21, 2005 12:00AM
Hi Girls,
I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow and for the last couple of days the joints in my ankles, fingers, and wrists have hurt. There isn't really any noticible swelling (my fingers swelled a little bit one day but are back to normal. Having had a miscarriage prior to this one I'm ultra paranoid about every little thing. Anyone else had this kind of pain during pregnancy and what causes it? Any ideas? Feel free to use as another open forum if needed.

Is it worse in cold or damp weather?
its worse in warm weather (it's been 80 degrees down here the last few days, and muggy)
i haven't gained any weight with this pregnancy yet. in fact I've lost 12 lbs (doc says not to worry about it since I'm overweight to start with and I'm eating healthy).
i'm clueless, unless its a hormone thing... i don't know... it sure was easier being pregnant in my 20's LOL!!!!
Well maybe being over weight (me too-lucky us) and the changing of your body together your achy,
Hope you feel better
Anyways, hope this helps a little
soory if i am making you worry.
take care
best of luck.

I am sure I read somewhere that you are more prone to repetitive strain injuries when pregnant. If you are at a computer a lot, that could be your answer. I wouldn't worry. Just one more freaky way mother nature reminds us that there is a baby taking over:)
