Numb hand at night

[sayer82]

If i sleep on my right side i wake up and my left hand is numb is this normal i also think baby is starting to engage more as im getting lots of pressure when walking and its painful to turn over in bed at night.

I keep waking up with both of my hands really numb!! It's painful as well.. Not sure what is causing it because as soon as I wake up they are numb and it's not like I've been lay on them.. All my arms and shoulders ache because of it..x

Sounds like carpal tunnel i wear wrist splints but it's still shocking x

yeah defo carpal tunnel, its no fun and im afraid not a lot you can do other than the wrist splints, i got mine from my maternity physio

they dont realy work for me any more but they did help for a few weks, mine r so bad i cant use my hands at all untill 15 mins after gettin up,

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, it can be very painful, try wearing splints to keep the wrists straight. also the blood flow is reduced due to blood being prioritised to baby, so feet and hands don't get the right circulation. x
