Hi,welcome to healthcare magic. I understand your query as well the concern about your pregnancy.
Stiffness in knuckles may be the sign of rheumatoid arthritis. So better consult your doctor and get the test done for rheumatoid arthritis to confirm it. If it comes negative then you may need some more investigations under the valuable guidance of your treating doctor. That will help in diagnosis & treatment.
Good luck,
Thanks.
