Stuck knuckles?

When I wake up in the morning it's hard for me to stretch out my fingers because it feels like my knuckles are stuck. Anybody else have this? Is it just from swelling? I'm 35+2

I have this problem too ladies ! Almost every morning for about 2 weeks already, I spoke to my nurse about it and she told me I was the second prego that had brought it up to her that same week, she said it happens to some of us while pregnant because the baby since he's growing and becoming big will sometimes sit on some nerves and make it hard for the blood to flow through out the rest of your body,especially while your sleeping,so when you wake up that's why your hands might feel numb,hard to open,swollen,and also your feet etc. I don't know if its true but I'm just sharring with y'all cus I've been having the same problem for a while now. and I'm 29w 4d. Hope this helped (:

Yes! And it hurts soooo bad but threw out the day it's okay, it's only when I wake up. It's so bad. I feel like my knuckles are broken but once I start moving them, it's okay. The pain can get so bad to where I tear up sometimes. It really does s u c k!!
