Really? Now. Oh joy.

I've hit the point where I'm finding everything involving late pregnancy really, really funny because the alternative is for me to curl up in a ball and cry, and let's face it, that gets boring quick.

Here's my current source of amusement: my due date is Monday. Yesterday I noticed some tingling in my left hand. Turns out I have an extremely mild, late onset, possible case of partial carpel tunnel.

Really? I make it this far with virtually no problems with swelling and whatnot, and now here I am in the home stretch and my hands decide to be a PITA. Fortunately, it's only my left hand, it's extremely mild (I don't notice it most of the time) and will probably go away within a month since I'm so darn close to baby day anyway.

But yeah, I just keep laughing and thinking "what's next?"

Never ask what's next! haha! Mine right hand (I am a lefty) has just started having carpel tunnel symptoms too! I would have expected it more when I was working cutting hair, but now? When I am practically not doing anything? Hmm, I am typing more occupying myself on the bump though...

You know, every time I've wondered "what next?" I end up with something else ridiculously silly to deal with! I was all over the place about none of my maternity clothes fitting all of a sudden, and now I've got the annoyance of semi-carpel tunnel. 

I'll just have to stop wondering at this point :-D

I have had bad carpal tunnel in both hands since about three weeks before giving birth. It SUCKS! Two weeks after delivery (35 lbs lighter...yes put on a lot of water) and I still have it but getting better. It was terrible few for few days after delivery. dH had to dress baby all the time because I didn't have enough dexterity in my hands to roll onesie sleeves or snap snaps

 

I hope yours goes away quickly.
