During the night...! ? Circulation!

verney300 · Mar 18th, 2010, 15:09 PM

I am waking up about 4-5 times a night with no circulation in one of my hands and lower arm its not because i am lay on because i am not. Its kinda like a dead arm and pins and needles. its horrible n really hurts. Its been happening for about a week and a half now. Also some times when i get up in the morning my legs are the same... but this is not every morning. Just wondering whether anyone else had the same thing or whether anyone knew of what it could be and had advice??

Thanks x

I have that, mw said it's carpal tunnel syndrome, I have an appointment with the physio on Monday, mw referred me as the pain during the night wakes me up like every hour

yes i have this, starts ever evening, it feels the same as when you trap your hand or when they put an arm band on to take bp etc, its horrible, i get it in my feet too, and i have the most god awful cramp at night, so bad my feet start turning up all on their own lol........... its all due to extra blood flow to qand from placenta xx

I have this too hun, midwife says it is carple tunnel and should sort itself out after pregnancy. Awful isnt it, the ends of my fingers on one of my hands stay dead all day though, and go completely dead during the night. x

I get this if I lie on my right side, but not if I lie on my left. Does it happen whichever way you lie?

Circulation is meant to be better in pregnancy if you are lying on your left, I think.
