Heavy feeling in arms?

[MooseyMoo]

has anyone else experienced this when pregnant?

On Sunday I was washing my hair and suddenly felt extremely tired and could hardly lift arms. Felt like I had been for a workout the day before. Felt very tired throughout day and didn't do a lot but still felt heavy limbed in the afternoon.

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and this is my second pregnancy. Have tried contacting midwife to see if this is a common problem or a sign of something more serious but can't get through at moment.

TIA

Hi. I had exactly the same thing a few times when I was around 30 weeks - couldn't manage to brush my hair, felt like I had been carrying really heavy bags of shopping - I couldn't work out any rhyme or reason why it happened, and then it just went away. Sorry that's not much help, but you are not on your own!

That's good to know ally. Thanks for replying. It's blimmin weird!

Any tingling in hands and feet?

I get this and am only 22 weeks. Some mornings I can barely lift my arms up to wash my hair in the shower. And mega tingling in my hands if they're in the same position for more than 30 seconds.

lolly - on and off but mainly at night. Put it down to sleeping position.

Sounds ok then. I got this all of a sudden with the extreme aching but the tingling was constant. Was not preg related for me and was a very rare condition but it sounds highly unlikely you have that. It was all constant though and yours passes
