Tingling in arms and hands..

[tootie]

I've heard of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, but can it occur this early in pregnancy? I think i'm about 7 weeks but the tingling in my right arm and fingers is so strange. Never had this before. Anyone else? xx

I get it from time to time & in my toes but goes once I start wiggling them.. Never thought anything of it??

It is a common pregnancy complaint apparently (sez good ol' google) but i wasn't sure if it was too early for it to be that?

Maybe i'm just desperately looking for a sign, any sign that it's all going to be ok!

You're meant to get tingles and pins and needles in pregnancy, I don't think it's anything to worry about!

You could be low on iron or vit b12??

Hey Tootie

I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in the 1st trimester , apparently it is due to pregnancy hormones and is really common .My right arm and hand would have a tingling feeling in it and i couldn't grip things in my hand properly , I found that raising my arm for a few minutes above my head worked , i was also told if the problem carried on or got worse my gp would refer me to physio.

Luckily now i only get it happening now and again and im currently 33 weeks , i was told it will disappear once the baby is delivered and the hormones have returned back to normal so i can live with it for a few more weeks .

I would book an appointment to see your gp or ask your midwife regarding your symptoms , they will be able to assist you further ... good luck x
