Numbness and stiffness of hands?
Do you girls ever have tingling and numbness in your hands especially when clenching your fist? It feels very stiff and for a second almost like I can't move my fingers. I don't ever have pain but it's really uncomfortable and annoying. I'm assuming it's carpal tunnel, but not sure.
Have any of you ever experienced this?

Re: Numbness and stiffness of hands?
Sounds like when I had carpal tunnel
( Had it bad when pg w/ DS and had to wear a wrist brace)
This time around I only have the numbness/tingling in my right middle finger

I haven't personally, but my firend who is a couple weeks ahead of me complained about this a couple weeks ago. Pretty sure it's normal.

Re: Numbness and stiffness of hands?
I get the numbness and tingliness in my right hand and I have it most of the day. Sometimes I get it in my left. I started experiencing it at around 33 weeks... My doctor said its carpal tunnel and that i could get a wrist brace. I haven't..

Re: Numbness and stiffness of hands?
sound slike carpal tunnel which i have pre-pregnancy. if it really bothers you i would buy one of those nylon wrist splints in the drugstore. thats what i had to use to help my case. i wore it every night when i went to bed for about a month and it helped a lot. give it a shot. it should say carpal tunnel on the package, if not, it has a bar in the splint that keeps your wrist and palm straight.

Re: Numbness and stiffness of hands?
Sounds like carpul tunnel to me too. I have it mildly pre-pregnancy, and it has only kicked in a few times but feels exactly like you are describing.

Re: Numbness and stiffness of hands?
I have this and it sucks! 
The fingers on my right hand have a numbness/tingling all the time. They are also stiff and I feel like I need to crack my knuckles. It started about 3 weeks ago and i am 34 weeks now. My doctor said it is carpal tunnel and I wear a wrist brace at night which helps.

My carpal tunnel started out like this and now I have to wear a brace at night. I really should wear them on both hands but then I would have to wake DH up everytime I pee at night which it like at least four times. Sorry you're going through this - it stinks!
