I've noticed over the last week or so I've had slight swelling of my fingers. I assume this is water retention - and I did suffer from it with my other pregnancies (I remember not being able to wear my wedding ring). I just don't remember if it was as early as this. Has anyone else suffered from it at this stage? It's not that bad - and haven't noticed my ankles or anywhere else swelling.
I had pre-eclampsia with both the girls, so am quite paranoid about any swelling etc! lol

I have it already lol at 7+3! My ring finger looks like a fat sausage today! I think with subsequent pregnancies you can expect things to get symptomatic a little earlier, just keep an eye on it! xxx

rofl Amanda.. I had that swelling too hehehe
I remember problems with rings during pregnancy, but I dont think it was swelling I think it was the gold metal that was the problem, plus I was 18 weeks when I found out so it was well into 2nd trimester when it started for me.

I never had pre-eclampsia but my hands swelled up a bit as well. If i can recall the swelling of your face would need actions taken right off.. Hope all goes well and definately keep an eye out!
