Hi, I'm 35+4 and suffering from pregnancy carpel tunnel syndrome which is getting steadily worse. I can't make a fist (so can't grip anything) or properly stretch out my fingers. The worst part is the pain from my joints. My hands completely seize when I'm sleeping and take about half an hour before I can do anything. Removing trousers to go to the loo and fastening my bra has become like torture!
The only thing the doctor has recommended is to sleep with my arms elevated, which is impossible.
I would really love to be playing with my shiny bugaboo bee and learning how it works/folds up etc. but it's impossible . It's also inhibiting my ability to nest
Any hints on how to ease this would be much, much appreciated. Thanks.
