Pins and needles

momto3soonbe4 · July 2016

Hi I'm 30 weeks but for the last week I've had constant pins and needles in my hands. All day and all night everyday. I've never had it with any previous pregnancies. Has anyone else had/ got this and is it normal?

I have it too. Sounds like carpel tunnel and its not uncommon in pregnancy. It sucks and is so uncomfortable. Mine is worse at night, hence why I'm up and bumping at 4 am. I'm going to try wearing braces while I sleep, hope it helps!

Sounds like carpal tunnel. Tet hot and cold compresses. If it is too bothersome have your dr refer you to therapy.

Thanks for the replies ladies. Glad I'm not the only one. And yeah I'll try that, it's jus annoying trying to do day to day things like make myself a drink etc lol

yep. I run my hands under warm water for relief but it's really annoying

Unfortunately, like the others have said, it's most likely carpal tunnel. The warm water and splints from my local drugstore have been working for me.

Yep it's normal, and wearing wrist braces (with the hard inserts, not the soft ones) should help with what you're describing. The braces helped me a lot with carpal tunnel pins & needles before. Lately it got worse and my hands and fingers feel like I have really bad arthritis (very achy and painful, difficult to bend and straighten my fingers - gripping a toothbrush, pen, door handle etc doesn't just hurt but is hard to physically do). The braces aren't helping at this point, but at least it is supposed to be temporary and should go away after delivery. I will let you know if I find any tricks that work in case anyone else's progresses too
