Is swollen hands at 22 weeks pregnant a bad sign?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Fairly common: But it is always important to remain in close contact with your obstetrician to determine if you are at an appropriate weight.

Not necessarily: Swelling is a common side effect of pregnancy due to all the retained water. The swelling can induce carpal tunnel syndrome if it becomes pronounced. I would recommend keeping your hand elevated, massage of your wrists to keep the lymphatics flowing and night splints if you begin to develop symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (numbness).
