Anyone had numb hands/arms in pregnancy?

[soandsosmum]

I've been having numb arms for arms while in bed and tingly during the day for a few weeks. I've seen a physio and got my upper back moving so it's not that. I'm worried it's carple tunnel (SP!) as i have a one year old and due in december so there wont be a 'good time' to have my wrists 'done' until um 2020?!

anyone had these symptoms?

It's carpal tunnel, caused by fluid build up around the wrists, try raising your hands and wriggling your fingers. Also, it will probably go away after birth

I did with DD1. I was very bloated with her too. As colditz said it is probably due to excess fluid.

My doctor gave me splints to wear on my hands at night, and when resting during the day. It was carpal tunnel syndrome, and it went away shortly after her birth.

I also had carpal tunnel sydrome in my first pregnancy.

It went away straight after the birth, and 18 years later I still haven't had to have an operation on my wrists.

My carpal tunnel syndrome vanished as soon as I gave birth.

oh good about it going after birth
i can cope for 5 months :-)

will see if the doc can help

I had it in each pregnancy, and then it went soon afterwards.

I had it in my hands when pregnant with dd and it did turn out to be carpel tunnel. It went away straight after birth and this pregnancy I just keep getting numb/tingly big toes!
