Hand Numbness in Late Pregnancy: Causes & Relief


Question
I am alomst 37 weeks pregnant. Everything is going good and has been very normal. I have not gained an excessive amount of weight and all check ups have been good. HOwever, the past 3 or 4 nights(and mornings) my hands have been falling asleep very quickly, and for no reason. Its not like im lying on them, I could just be on my side, and they'll go to sleep. They get tingly and its very annoying. They even seem to go sleep if I'm using them or wiggling them around. Is this related to preg?Is it normal?Is it somethinmg I should be concerned with?

Answer
Sounds like pregnacy induced carpel tunnel syndrome.  Very normal.  Usually goes away after the baby is born.
I had this too, very uncompfortable, I could not type, can you imagine?  lol
Mention it to your Dr. at your next visit to be sure.
Good luck and Congrats!
