My hands and fingers feel numb and tingly especially in the morning, kabhi kabhi wakes me up at night. Im 32 weeks. Doctor said its common but didnt say much. How do u all manage this?
Oh, I just delivered a few months ago and my wrist pain was terrible! What really helped me was wearing a wrist splint at night and doing gentle hand stretches. Also, keeping my hands elevated on a pillow while sleeping gave me instant relief.
My baby is a toddler now, but I still remember that annoying hand numbness and pain during my third trimester. Don't worry, it usually goes away completely a few weeks after delivery. Just avoid putting pressure on your wrists and do light warm water dips.
When my hands started hurting, my MIL made a warm compress for me and told me to avoid sleeping on my hands. She also suggested gently massaging them with warm mustard oil. It felt so soothing and actually reduced the swelling a lot.
Going through IVF made me very sensitive to physical discomforts, so I can totally empathize with your pain. Gentle hand exercises and using a soft wrist splint can bring a lot of comfort. Please stay strong and speak to your doctor if the pain gets too intense.
Hey, don't stress too much about this, it is super common because of water retention! Try to avoid repetitive hand movements and give your hands some rest. Put a pillow under your arms when you sleep, it'll make you feel much better, trust me.
Honestly, carpal tunnel is so frustrating when you have to work. I bought an ergonomic wrist support brace online and it made a huge difference. Also, take frequent breaks from typing on your laptop or phone, it really helps.
