Pins and Needles

Hi Girls,
Hope you're all having a good weekend.
I've been so busy i wish it wasn't over so quick!

Just wondered if anyone else has experienced pins and needles? I've been having them since yesterday in my left hand just in the tips of my fingers and it's really strange. Not sure if it's normal or not?

if its in the hands it sounds like carpal tunnel to me, ive had it for a few years ,but it is common in pregnancy, if it gets really bad wrist splints work wonders, it will go after the baby is born x

yep that sounds like it to me, i wake up feeling like my hand isnt my own and try hanging it out the bed holding it in the air or swinging it round trying to get the feeling back, its to due with the extra fluid build up which causes some pressure in the carpal tunnel ( a band of tendons which carry nerves to the hand) hope you get some relief soon x
