Numbness

dlast09 · June 2011

So yesterday all of my finger tips were numb. My awesome DH said "Gasp! You might die soon!" Hahah. I looked it up a little and didn't find much but some yahoo questions and answers. Just wondering if this is common or not?

Normal. Carpal tunnel-like symptoms. Tingling and numbness in the fingers and hands is totally normal at this point and should resolve after baby arrives.

I have the same problem. According to what I have found out via dr. google the tendons etc that run down to your hands are inflammed due to being PG and increase the chances of getting carpal tunnel. I have had numbness, tingling and pain in my hands for the last couple weeks now.

Annoyingly normal. I had 3 fingers on each hand numb at the end of my first pregnancy. It took 3 weeks PP to fully go away.....I had been expecting instant relief!

It is also happening to me. For the past few weeks it's been so bad that it wakes me up in the middle of the night cause I'm in so much pain from it. I'm lucky to even get 1 hour of uninterrupted sleep. I was told by the midwife that it is normal and to just sleep on my back. HA! not so easy for someone who is a side sleeper.

I figured it was normal. They were only numb for a few hours, woke up this morning and all was fine. I was just curious though ;]
