Sore/achy joints?

Anyone else getting this? My knuckles on both hands have been kind of stiff and sore for the past 1-2 weeks, almost like I just finished writing an essay for an hour. I don't have arthritis or anything. I'm just considering it to be yet another fun and strange side effect of pregnancy. 33w6d!

Yeah joint pain is normal.  The hormones that loosen the ligaments in your pelvis also loosen the ligaments in the rest of your body causing them to ache. It is not fun to endure!
