Hey ladies, so I have had carpal tunnel in my right hand since about 3-4 months pregnant, not it is in my left hand- I hate it and it is incredibly painful. NOW I have this intense pressure down below, and recently it has been burning. I am 8 months pregnant and the dr says it is all par for the course, well damn, I am in so much pain it hurts to walk. The other night I slept with an ice pack on my vagina.....HELP! I need relief. I am still working, but sit all day at work, when I get up it is like a ton of bricks has been placed on my private part, and it burns.

    Lurking from 2nd tri. will be here soon :)

    I have had carpel tunnel for awhile now in both hands.  I wake up in the morning and they are pins and needles.  I wear braces at night.  I have not had to wear them during the day but I have noticed lately that depending on what I am doing they might start with the pins and needles during the day.  Braces help.  Not much you can do.  Should go away after the baby is born.  A friend of mine just had surgery on her wrist due to carpel tunnel but hers is from her job NOT from being pregnant.  She has had both wrists done.  

    I have a burning sensation in my left thigh,  it started with pins and needles in one spot then it woke me up burning so bad.  I asked Dr he said it is like sciatica but in your thigh, pinched nerve.  It comes and goes usually at night.  Can be so painful but not much I can do he said.  Will get better after baby is born.

    So sorry about the pressure you are having below, I do not have that but can sympathise with other things.  I am only 6 months pregnant

    Try the braces for your wrists especially at night.  That is when I know mine go to pins and needles more so..  

    Feel better

    Thank you, I have been icing myself when I get home....It sucks but it helps. I am trying to begin to work from home so I can do more laying down then sitting. But being 8 months pregnant, and having very little issues, I guess something was to be expected.

    Lurking as well.... but I had carpal tunnel in my right wrist before getting KU. It got so bad at 22 weeks that I would wake up at night in tears (this WITH a wrist brace) and have to ice my wrist to go back to sleep. I found a new brace that I felt fit better/was more comfortable and started wearing it almost 24/7. I haven't had the same pain since. I am now, however, starting to get it in my left wrist as well and will be wearing a brace on it at night. Praying it doesn't get as bad as the right.

    There are also some braces specifically for night time that offer even more support. Shop around and find one that works for you.
