Blood circulation

kelseycorbell

I wake up every night about once an hour & have to sit up & let blood drain back into my right arm. This normally happens I've noticed when I sleep on my left side. I try not to but somehow I always wake up laying on my left. It just started about 4 days ago, I'm 33 weeks on Monday. Is this a normal thing? My baby isn't losing circulation bc of this too is she? I'd ask my doctor but my next appt isn't for another week & I can't call bc he's a "work by appt only" doctor (he's also a surgeon on call)

Are you saying your arm is falling asleep?  Mine do that too if I am sleeping on them or have them in an odd position.  I wouldn't think that you arm falling asleep is doing anything to your baby, but I'm no doctor so don't take my word for it.
