My fingers are SO swollen .. I've been drinking tons of water and not eating any salt and for some reason they're still swollen :irked

Does anyone else know any other "remedies"?

Sorry...I don't have any.....it's all a part of being pregnant. No matter what you do, you may STILL swell up....

All I can is send some hugs.... :hugs

Check the sodium content of the foods you eat. Otherwise if it came on suddenly I would phone your Dr. But swelling is normal

My fingers just gradually swelled, no matter what I ate and drank. It got so bad I could no longer wear my rings, and even had to get them cut off when I was pg with Blake.

I think it's pretty much been a gradual thing but I've just been noticing it more here latley because I've been trying to wear my rings ... I'll check the sodium intake more now though .. thanks!

I would check to make sure that all is okay. It seems pretty soon to be swollen but you are caring twins... maybe faster then! gl

It will just happen the further along you get. My fingers didn't swell half as much as my feet and toes though. :lol

Watch your sodium intake, and exercise as much as possible. I've heard that helps.
