Pins and Needles/Numbness

[lauraloo09]

hiya just looking for some advice

I am currently 22+5 and starting to get very worried regarding pins and needles and numbness in my arms and legs. I have previously attended my local pregnancy daycare unit as I have been suffering cramps in my right leg, but they found nothing wrong with it.

For the past few weeks I wake up in agony in the middle of the night with severe pins and needles and numbness in both my arms, but last night I had them in both arms and legs and it was painful.

At the moment I can feel some pain in my left elbow area and I have been constantly sick all morning, I'm not sure if these are related or if its just a bout of morning sickness again.

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if this was normal in the second trimester? I have already spoke to my midwife regarding this and dont want to feel like I'm 'bugging' her I have an ante-natal appointment tomorrow should I wait to see her then?

Sorry for the long post just dont know who else to ask!

Speak to your midwife...I am suffering from pins and needles in my hands during the day and night, its horrible....went to my doctor who said I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome which is part of the pregnancy, he referred me to a Physio who gave me wrist splints to wear at night - they have helped a little...she said that they can't do anything else beacause I am pregnant and that the symptons should go after the baby has arrived - which is any day now! I started getting them in my last trimester along with swollen hands....

I feel for you, but definitly speak to your midwife, that is why she is there...good luck!
