pregnancy arthritis?

I posted before but didn't actually say that I was pregnant. I'm 34 weeks and over the past few days have experienced joint pain and stiffness in my fingers. Twice I've also had numbness in two fingertips (once while walking on treadmill, once while doing nothing). Before this my toes/front part of my foot has been sore as well but I just attributed that to the weight gain. The more I think about it, I realize that the pain in my toes/feet is similar to that of my fingers.

Is there such a thing as pregnancy arthritis? It just happened so suddenly that I am taken aback by it. I find that massaging my hands/fingers feels good but doesn't really provide relief. Is this normal during pregnancy, and will it go away after delivery?
