Hi this is a normal symptom of pregnancy . It is probably carpal tunnel syndrome whereby the tissues in your hand swells up due to excess fluids and this swelling squeezed the carpal tunnel and puts pressure on the nerve. The carpal tunnel is a passage that runs from your wrist to the lower Palm. Bending the fingers forward will make the pain worse. You can try moving or shaking you hands to see if the pain goes away. If it gets so bad you may want to see your Gynae and see if she recommends a therapist for you . You may need a wear a wrist guard

Yes..in fact all my fingers feel pain..i think cuz of the water retention...my fingers looks like a sausage now...

Unfortunately, this is normal. It really hurts right.. but it will go off after 3 months postpartum (at least for me it did)

It’s due to water retention. Drink more water to combat it and wear wrist guard.
