Pins and needles since 4am?

Question

Hi everyone, I'm 4 months pregnant and since 4 am this morning i have had pins and needles in my hands and arms, I still have it now.

Does anyone know what this is and can it affect my baby?

Thanks in advance x

Answer 1

It could be that the baby is lying on a nerve, i would get it checked out though just to be safe.

Answer 2

Hi darling. This most definitely Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. I suffered with this nearly 25 years ago when i became pregnant with my first baby.

It started suddenly very early in the pregnancy just like you have described, and left me in agony for months.

I was shattered all the time, as i hardly got any sleep and spent most of the night crying in bed.

It can get so painful its untrue.

Eventually, when my daughter was six months old, i had an operation which thankfully worked a treat. I never had a twinge after that, even with my two further pregnancies.

Strangely enough, my daughter has just had a little boy three weeks ago and midway through her pregnancy, had carpel tunnel also. Her G P gave her a splint to use at bed time, but sorry to say it didn't work, so i am hoping it will clear itself up now my grandson is born. If not, they will follow it up.

Apparently, this condition is common in pregnancy, go straight to your G P, its extremely painful, and if left, will will make you tired and miserable, don't suffer with it darling.

Good luck, and best wishes. xxxxxx

Ask your doctor!

Answer 4

I'm not a baby specialist but you have nerve pain maybe the baby shifted but do you think the baby shifted position  or you slept the wrong way?

Answer 5

I have the same but i'm not pregnant, it sounds like a trapped nerve, it can't be carpel tunnel as it came all of a sudden. it will go as quick as it came, i hope good luck.
