Painful hands

Dolls2011 · January 2013

Is anyone else experiencing pain in their hands? It's really just in my fingers and seems worse when I wake up. I know my fingers have swelled a tiny bit in the last month because I can no longer wear my rings but the pain is new this week.

I have pregnancy carpal tunnel. My fingers are numb all the time, but it is worse at night. I've lost strength in my hands and it hurts to do almost everything because when I push on them I get shooting pains. I feel like they have arthritis early in the morning when I first wake up, but this goes away as the day goes on. It is extremely uncomfortable but there isn't much I can do about it. It's from all the extra blood/swelling on the nerve. Supposedly it will go away once you have the baby. I sure hope so because it sucks. I feel your pain!

Me!! Oh my gosh, it kills in the morning, huh? I haven't really complained this whole pregnancy, but the hands!

This is me 100%. I sure hope the numbness and pain go away after birth!

It's the worst in the morning but I've noticed that even when I wake up in the middle of the night, the pain is there. Fortunately, it does get better as the day goes on. Just another fun pregnancy symptom!

I have pain in my thumb but I assume that it's from an old injury and pregnancy is just making it hurt again, but now I don't know.

Me too!! I have had a pretty simple pregnancy so far but this one thing sure sucks!! I feel bad complaining when I could have had it much worse...but seriously, not being able to feel your fingers, and waking up in the middle of the night with major pain is not fun!!
