New Development

So now with the baby getting so much larger, it must be sitting on some nerve. My fingertips are now usually missing some sensation, and when I sleep, I've started to wake up with numb hands, or at least 3 numb fingers. I read that pregnant women can get a form of carpal tunnel and I wonder if this is part of that. I might have to read up on that again and ask my Dr. next time I'm in.

  1. its carpel tunnel alright but it is to do with the blood vessels all over your body softening ready for the big event. Try not to over do any activity with your hands, using tools or hand writing etc.

    it never goes!!!

  2. Nooo! I'm hoping it goes away a few weeks after birth as "What To Expect..." suggests. Here's hoping! As for not doing much with my hands... maybe I can get someone else to write my evaluation reports for me? :)
