Do you think it's normal?

I posted the other day about how I was feeling. Some numbness and swelling, and 1 brief dizzy/weirdness episode. Well the last couple of days my fingers and or hand has been numb? I believe only in my left hand though? Chat Icon Yesterday was my whole hand and right now only the tip of my thumb and 2 other fingers? I'm also swollen right now. I woke up last night and my hands were really swollen. I keep saying how it's the summer weather, but how can it be when it's not hot at night or early in the morning? I don't know if this makes a difference but even with Caiden I hardly ever woke up during the night to pee. I only do if Caiden or my dogs wake me up, other than that I would sleep right through. Also, during the day I hardly pee. I just don't have to all the time. I go at least once maybe twice during the day, but that's it. What do you think? I'd hate to call the doctors and then they want me to come in for a $35.00 co-pay for them to tell me it's nothing. Any thoughts? Thanks!

IMO its better to spend $35 and make sure everything is OK than risk it. It sound like it could be pre-eclampsia symptoms.

I agree. I did read in "What to Expect..." that you can experience numbness in your hands and arms, but I would get it checked out.

Maybe if you call and ask to speak with the doctor instead of speaking to a nurse, he can tell you if it's normal or not. Although I'm sure he would want to take your blood pressure.

Hope you feel better Chat Icon

I would get it checked out but I would imagine it is from the swelling and it is probably putting pressue on the nerves in your arms especially the carpel tunnel (sp?).
