Swollen hands in pregnancy

Hello fellow mums
After some advise.
I'm 11 weeks pregnant and have very swollen hands. Feet are a little swollen but nothing I'm concerned about only my hands. I have an appointment with my share care doc this week so will ask but wanted to see if something like this had happened to anyone else this early in pregnancy.
Thank you

My feet swelled fairly early in the pregnancy. Definitely before 20 weeks. I worried a bit but my blood pressure was always low and nothing was ever wrong.

And when I say the swelled, I mean they were HUGE people would comment all the time and I had to get shoes TWO sizes bigger for work haha. Also my hands did swell a bit and had really bad carpal tunnel because of the swelling in my wrists/hands. I gained 30 kilos and lost it all in about 2 weeks after birth. It's was just so much fluid. Unless you hsve high blood pressure or the doctor is concerned I wouldn't worry:)

My hands are swollen and I'm only around 5 weeks pregnant. The doctor said its fluid. But all my loose rings are now stuck on my fingers and are impossible to get off... even with moisturizer or soap lol.
It's horrible and I never had this with my first but my doctor claims it's normal for the first 3 months.
