anyone else suffering from this? I wake up like it in the night and wake up with it in the morning, seems to go through the day.

I know it can be a sign of pre-eclampsia, and have had this before, but no other symptoms.

Hi - I had very swollen hands, fingers, and ankles but much later on in my pregnancy. I think pre-eclampsia doesn't ususally occur before 20 weeks, but why don't you give you Midwife a quick call for some reassurance? Maybe you're getting a bit hot in bed which is causing the swelling?
