Anyone else retaining water?

[kikizz]

Lately I've been waking up with puffy, stiff hands and I'm finding it hard to get my rings on. I'm having a hard time drinking enough fluids these days, so I'm guessing that's the reason.

Is anyone else finding that they are retaining water?

TIA!

Puffy-ness can be a sign of pre eclampsia. Be careful

Thanks for your reply! Pretty sure thats not it though. Thats more a later-pregnancy condition and I don't have any of the other symptoms

I have the opposite problem and my ring keeps falling off lately! I'd at least mention it to your doc I'm no expert and also a first timer but I haven't heard of that this early on...

I had severe edema with my daughter and they couldn't find the cause. My bp was always fine, no protein in my urine, etc. My hands are just starting to swell a lil as I'm having difficulty taking my rings off and am gaining weight quickly even though I'm eating healthy. Just mention it to your doctor or midwife just in case.
