Pins/Needles; Sleeping Sensation

has anyone else had that pins and needles/arm fell asleep sensation? I read it's a common in pregnancy. I plan to see my doc about it on Monday.

My left hand is currently half asleep and has been for a couple of days. It's driving me crazy!

Any suggestions or tips to alleviate it?

    Sounds like carpal tunnel to me and it SuCKS. I had it at the end of my last pregnancy and it has already started this time. Its due to swelling most of the time. Try a wrist brace first, you can get them usually at any local drug store or Walmart/Target. If it gets really bad you can get an cortisone injection into your wrist that will make the swelling go down, it helps a lot.

    Oh goodness, that sounds awful.I cannot stand when parts of my body are asleep, it's the creepiest feeling! I have no advice but I think you are on the right track talk to your dr. I agree with @ThecoffeeBunch though I know too many people who have had carpal tunnel with pregnancy and they've been fine with little braces from the drug store.

    Mine happens at night time. I'll wake up and can't feel one of my hands and then the tingly sensation kicks in once I move it. I have the braces still from last pregnancy and they do really help!

    One or both of my arms fall asleep every night now. It is annoying.

    Thanks ladies. I guess I'll be getting a brace.
