Aching joints in fingers

Since last night my fingers have been killing me... It was really random they just started aching, my fingers have been swelling so I think it's from  water retention but I'm not sure.. Has anyone else ha this happen?

Thank you for your response! I have a drs appointment today so I'll be sure to let him know about it. I'm 33 weeks and for the last week I have had terrible swelling in my feet as well, so bad that when I walk I can feel the fluid in them jiggle!! But I'm not sure if it's from the heat we've been experiencing here because today is a much colder day and the swelling has seemed to go down a lot

Yep, i have throughout most of this pregnancy 34.2weeks now. Its from a hormone called relaxin which causes your joints to loosen in preparation for the baby. It staryed in my fingers than went to my pelvis later on. Its normal but if the swelling is excessive and too painful contact your doc. Mine is so bad that my left pinky sometimes slips out of its socket and i have to put it back in but only in the morning, it's so weird.. :/ lol
