    Glad I'm not the only one!! Yes, my hands fall asleep really easily and it gets really painful, at night, in the morning..... Asked doc about it and he said that its normal and will go away once the baby is out, something about compressed nerves in your neck or shoulders? I don't know, but he told me it's just something that happens....

    I have the same thing, though my thumb, index, and middle finger on my right hand stay somewhat numb all day long too. My dr said it is carpal tunnel syndrome.

    I feel pain in my shoulders shooting down my arm. Plus I just hurt. My arm gets numb some nights. Am I done? ♡

    I'm having the same problem. My doctor told me it's totally normal and is carpel tunnel caused by swelling. He suggested I wear a wrist brace while sleeping. He assured me it should go away after I have the baby. Good luck momma!

    Yes, my doctor said it was carpel tunnel caused by swelling as well. DEFINITELY get a brace for your wrist from walmart/target, they're a life saver. It helps keep your wrist straight when you sleep, which in turn helps the nerve not pinch, and you not to have to wake up 6 times a night! It's definitely the worst part of my pregnancy so far... :(

    Ugh I'm right there with y'all. I shake my hands out all day long due to the numbness

    Yes! Every pregnancy. I asked with my first as I had no idea what's causing it. It's just extra blood flow and possibly baby laying on a nerve.. My shoulders, hips, feet and ears will fall asleep.. Yes ears! Lol that's soooo annoying! Just mention it to your doc, it's pretty common but just so she knows in case there's something you can do about it.
