I'm 39+5 pregnant with first born and 10 days ago, had a small car accident involving someone hitting the car I was in. They've accepted responsibility and the impact was not massively significant however I got checked out at a&e to be on the safe side and everything was fine.
Since the accident, I have consistently woken up in the early hours with numb fingers on one hand and pain in each hip. At first I didn't related this to the accident and thought it had been the way I was lying while sleeping etc. I've had to get up today at stupid o clock because the pain is tremendously bad. My hips are in agony and the numbness in my fingers appears I be travelling up my arm.

Can anyone tell me of they've ever had something similar towards the end of their pregnancy or if I should get myself to the GP ASAP?

Any/all advice massively appreciated and excuse typos on phone!

I'm not a health care professional and think you should speak to one.

With that caveat, I have exactly the same symptoms and was told numbness in pregnancy is often carpal tunnel syndrome and very common. As for the hips, was examined for SPD (thankfully dint have it) and it was just a typical annoying pregnancy niggle.

Please call your GP / Midwife and put your mind at ease. Good luck.

Sounds possibly related to the bump to me. I had what i assumed was a very miner incident when a stupid woman slammed on her breaks mid round about and i went into the back of her. Was going slow and noone appeared hurt, however in the next few days i started with pain as you describe in my hips and shoulder.
On the oher hand i also had mild spd in last pregnancy and thats painful in your hips to.
If i were you, to be on safe side id pay a trip to your gp as you have nothing to lose, either way it sounds as though you need some advice x
