3rd trimester-hand pains

I just started experiencing hand pains at night while I’m sleeping. It goes away throughout the day but just thought it was a weird symptom. I’m assuming it’s just fluid retention but I’m curious if any other ladies are experiencing this too.

I've had this my entire pregnancy, and my hands go numb. I think it's carpal tunnel, but I'm not sure. I'm going to talk to my doctor about it, because it's getting really bad.

yes! I had some hand pains at the beginning of pregnancy but this is like a whole other level that just started when I got into my third trimester. I hope it’s nothing serious.

@Christy you should be okay! But I would talk to your doctor just in case. I'm swelling, too, but not like extremely bad, where it could be a sign of pre-eclampsia. 🤷‍♀️ do your hips/lower back hurt, too? Mine have been SO bad 😫

my lower back definitely hurts. Stretching definitely helps but still, it makes doing stuff around the house really difficult. My hips haven’t started hurting yet, but I’m sure that’s something else I can look forward to lol.

@Christy awh well I hope you feel better! Sorry, I'm not much help, just more so I can relate haha 😅

My hands always fall asleep while I'm sleeping. I think it's the way my body is positioned now as I used to be a stomach sleeper and now I'm sleeping mostly on my sides. And my feet fall asleep if I sit criss cross.

My hands go numb just doing my makeup or cooking. Even holding my phone, they go numb 😳

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
