cramping??

for the past day or so now ive been getting cramps in the weirdest of places mostly my hands and feet and i know its not from drinking enough water cause my pee is pretty much clear(TMI sorry) could it be from my legs/feet and hands being extremely swollen the past few days compared to before?? my hands are like permanently blotched red which i know is normal in pregnancy.

hi there id say its due to poor circulation if your really puffy (i am) 
try massage ice packs and bandages sounds extreme but it might help

yeah my hands are what hurt the most especially when i go close them and make a fist they start cramping up and my feet yeah they just hurt 24/7 now especially when walking- ill def try the ice pack thing tonight

Yeah you can get it in your feet. My friend did...I thank goodness, did not. But I had it so bad in my right hand that I had to wear a brace throughout the last two months of my pregnancy. I wore it to bed, I wore it to work, I wore it ALL day!!

Thats what they told me to do! Jerks! lol. But my mom had to have surgery a few years back on her wrist for carpal tunnel, so she asked her doctor for a brace and I got one. But you could buy one at your local pharmacy//drugstore.

this happened to me a lot.

my nurses suggested bananas and stretching. the bananas are what did it for me.

she said it can also be the baby's head pressing on veins and nerves, cuts down circulation. the stretching should help though.
