numbness/pain in hands

[Daphne]

How many of you had this during your pregnancy? This has started with me over the last couple of weeks and is always worse at night. My midwife said it has a lot to do with the way Jacob is sitting. I try all kinds of things but nothing really works. I'm hoping this feeling goes away after he is born. It is so painful!!

Well I'm off to my appt. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Daphne I had this when I was pregnant with my second. It was especially bad at night and I would wake up and not even be able to feel my hands. I bought some of those hand splint things at the drugstore which seemed to help some. My right hand was worse than my left.

HUGS and good luck!

malcom should be getting a break at work soon so I'm going to ask him to bring me home some splints and hoping this helps!

The last few weeks of my pregnancies were the most uncomfortable. And this was part of why i say that. I didn't find relief until after s/he was born, but elevating my legs and support for my forearms helped.
