I had this. I hated it. I actually took my wedding ring off a few days before I went into labor. I had no problems with my feet or ankles- just my fingers. And it was way worse at night-- when I would get up to pee, the joints in my fingers ached.

I think those were the 2 main pregnancy symptoms I was happy to lose... swollen fingers and the reduced bladder size. I'd say the emotional moodiness, but that seems to have stuck around!

Count me in! I had to take my rings of two months ago, and in the morning I can't bend my fingers for like 30 minutes. Plus my fingertips are constantly numb! It is really annoying!

I had that with my last pregnancy. I have been lucky this time not to have it. I still don't know why I had it then and not with any of the others, but it is uncomfortable and annoying!

I had this too - and thought as soon as Natalia was born it would clear up. The puffy ankles did, but my fingertips are still numb and my rings don't fit yet...

Mine have been somewhat swollen, but not hurting. I haven't been wearing my ring though, because it has been hard to get off a time or two. My feet on the other hand have been huge, they aren't going down as nicely as they were a week ago either. It was if I worked a day and then the next day was off they would recover, but now they aren't getting back to normalish, just smaller.

I've had my rings off for months and most of my shoes are uncomfortably tight. But, I have to say the swelling has been less with this pregnancy than with my previous ones. Although maybe I'll feel differently once I start looking at photos of myself during this pregnancy. Hang in there mamas we're coming into the final lap.
