Good morning ladies, currently 18 weeks along and I keep having the pins and needle pain in my arms and hands when sleeping. I wake up and my joints are in such pain as my hand is asleep. Has anyone experienced something similar or remotely close. This all started around 9 weeks, I informed my sr at the time and he told me he’s never heard anyone complain about that, just find it very odd and wondering if anyone is having a similar experience.

Girl every single morning I wake up as stiff as a board. I’m 19 weeks gestational but she measures 21. My fiancé has to help me out of the bed in the mornings cause I hurt so bad. Not sure about why your hand would be falling asleep. Maybe a circulation problem

Yep I’m almost at 17 and the left side of my body ankles, thighs and hands go completely numb. It’s from inflammation and poor circulation, it’s been my least favorite symptom.

Yesssss!! I just got a pregnancy pillow so hoping it should help 🤞🏻

You probably have pregnancy induced carpal tunnel. It should go away once the baby is born, but in the mean time you can get braces that will help with your hands falling asleep and the pain. I had it with my last pregnancy and it’s starting to happen again this time.
You can message me if you want to!

Honestly I wouldn’t even spend all the money on a pregnancy pillow. I wound up not even using mine anymore cause how bulky it is. A regular body pillow does better for me personally

Pregnancy induced carpal tunnel is a real thing. I had it with my daughter and it started around 24ish weeks. I feel like I’m starting to develop it again. It went away a few weeks after I gave birth the first time
