Hi all!!
Wondering if anyone is suffering from something similar as me so I can put my mind at rest. I'm 37 weeks pregnant and for the last few weeks iv been experiencing pain in my hands and fingers, as if iv been gripping onto something for dear life!! Anyone else?

Sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome, very common in late pregnancy. Have you mentioned it to gp midwife? You can get splints that really help.

I had this from quite early on in my first pregnancy.
All the joints in my hands really ached and I couldn't grip things very tightly. It was on and off throughout my pregnancy. It never got bad enough (just really annoying) to see a doctor but I know they can give you splints if it is carpal tunnel.
Maybe see your gp. Hope it gets better x

I second carpel tunnel too. Very common in pregnancy, thanks to hormones! There are things the Dr can give you to help, so don't suffer, pop down to see your Dr. Good luck x
