Is anyone having problems with their hands and arms going numb at night while sleeping? It is happening to me several times a night and is so uncomfortable it wakes me up...is this normal or should i call my OB?

    yep, me too, but I think it's from the way I'm laying with my snoogle. it's really awkward when I have to get up and go pee, and I can't wipe because my hand is still numb LOL

    Sounds like it might be pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel or similar.

    I do too.  My feet also.  When this happened when I was pregnant with DS my OB told me to use a wrist brace.  I tried this time around but was more uncomfortable with the brace than the numb feeling.  She told me that it is from swelling that is compressing on the nerves.

    I do! Never happened when sleeping on my tummy, but since I started sleeping on my sides ... whichever arm I'm laying on ALWAYS goes numb. Stick out tongue

    its normal. I've waken up with complete numb hands and arms. Its just all the extra blood in your system from the pregnancy.

    Just wanted to add that I had this with my 1st pregnancy (carpal tunnel b/c of the pg) and I got a wrist brace to use at night and during the day when it hurt and it did help a lot.  You can get one at CVS or Target or someplace similar.  They aren't too expensive and really did help.
