Quick question: tingling fingers

4 replies

GEMMA
Hi! I’m 31 weeks pregnant as of Saturday, and for the past few months, I’ve been having really bad tingling in my fingers and numbness in my hands. Sometimes it wakes me up at night and it’s painful. Are there any other pregnant women experiencing this?

    @GEMMA: you probably have carpal tunnel syndrome. You might want to look it up. It matches exactly what you're describing, and it can get worse due to hormones (pregnancy).
    I had surgery for it last year.
    Love,

    Yeah, I read it online, but I saw that it goes away after giving birth, so I’m secretly hoping it goes away too. I’m not looking forward to surgery with a baby and a toddler at home.

    I understand. I also had one who was 4 years old and one who was 1 year old when I had surgery.
    I’m rooting for you that it goes away????

    Thanks, I already bought something from Newpharma to put on my wrist to keep it calm. Hope this helps a bit.
