Pins & Needles??

[Another1makes4]

Im 15 weeks pregnant with my first DC so this is all new to me!
Recently, probably for the last couple of weeks or so, I have been waking up with pins & needles in both arms and hands - so much so that its a bit painful and takes some wriggling of my fingers to get them feeling better and 'working' again. I dont think its because I've been lying on them (like you might call a 'dead arm') as it happens in both arms and I generally am asleep on my back or side with arms out of the way.
I just wondered if anyone else had this and if it was linked to being pregnant at all or just a weird coincidence?!
Also, aside from that, Im waking up with a really dry mouth too which is quite unpleasant as well! I know I should b drinking more water but I just dont feel like it!!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Yes I get this too, although this is my 4th pregnancy and the first time I have noticed it. It is worse when I put my hands under my head but also happens when I am sleeping on my back. Mainly if my hands are on top of my body. If they are laying by my sides it doesn't tend to happen so I assume it is them being higher than my body that causes it. No idea whether it is cause for concern though

Give carpal tunnel a google.

Scrub that google.... carpal tunnel in pregnancy.

Yes, sounds like carpal tunnel. Ask to see a physio -- I got braces to sleep in at night that help (not a cure, but much better than without the braces).

I am 14 weeks pregnant and I get this too - will get googling carpal tunnel!

I get it too and I find that applying pressure to the acupressure spots on my forearms really helps.
You can find the right spots on google too!
