yes it is normal to have hands swollen!
For me it begun sooner.probably you have drunk more water, so it was retained into the skin.
the feeling is stronger in the morning then it is dissapearing.
No serious problem.maybe you need to do some test, urine test for preeclamsy, to be more sure and to stay relaxed.

Yes it is absolutely normal. Pregnant women when reaches at your stage, 32 weeks, starts to feel the swelling of the feet. It is because your due date is just around the corner. Start walking every morning so that you will be exercised. Prepare already the things that baby will need, because once the swelling drops out, it is the sign that you will give birth.

hello there and it is normaly since it is only at yoiur hands and legs, and it need to swell graduative, what means it start and don't get bad soon , if you start notice that you face is getting round and puffy you must contact your doctor as soon as you notice that, coz it may is a symptom of high blood presure what is a big problem as long as high blood presure problems can develop to preclampsia.

This is normal and it happens because of deficiency of iron in body . You should not drop any medicines which your OB has described and should intake more and iron food .Legs also get sweeled during this period because of hanging the legs for long time as the weight is increasing and your feet cant take it for so long and you stand for long time so avoid such condition. soak your legs in warm water for some time.
