    I literally just found out I’m pregnant yesterday. About two weeks ago I would go to sleep with my hands straight, but wake up due to me clenching my fist. I’ve had carpal tunnel for years now and has been pregnant a few times now. I really have a feeling I’m pregnant with twins/triplets. I do not know why I’ve been doing this😩 I can’t wait till 8 weeks to get my first ultrasound. Hopefully I get one before then that can detect it.

    I'm 32 weeks pregnant and just started experiencing wrist pain like I slept on it wrong or banged it on something. When I wake up the pain is excruciating but throughout the day it lessens to just being uncomfortable. I try to do some wrist exercises throughout the day which may be alleviating the pain

    I am 27 weeks pregnant and have had severe carpal tunnel on both hands since I started my second trimester. I noticed 2 weeks ago that on my right hand my middle and ring finger have been feeling like they are getting locked when I try to close and open my hands. A couple of days ago I noticed on my left hand (dominant hand) my middle finger is getting locked again. My ob and fam Dr said they can't do anything until I deliver in the meantime just Tylenol but that doesn't help at all. I am really in pain all day and can't sleep at all
