Anyone else waking up with pins and needles in their hands @ night? I wake up and have to shake them!
Its weird/uncomfortable!

I hate that! I had it bad when I was pg with Kaylin, but it's only happened a few times with this pg.

Up your water intake. You're probably swelling at night and it's pinching a nerve. Hope it stops soon

Mine do that whether I'm sleeping or not. I usually elevate them above my heart and shake em a bit...it's annoying though.

Mine do that if I am sitting on the floor and lean back on my hands - it's like they go to sleep immediately. Such crazy things happen to us when we're pregnant!

I don't have it w/ my hands, but I do w/ my feet. It drives me crazy.

Me too Amy!!! Whenever I lean back on my hands they fall asleep!! I thought it was strange but apparently I'm not the only one so....

My hands are both almost totallty numb right now. My right hand: my index finger, and middle finger are totally numb, my thunb is close... and half my hand is numb. My left hand: same thing, only my fingers aren't quite as numb as n my right hand.

I'm right handed so it makes doing anything next to impossible. Typing is soooo annoying as I can't feel the keys and so I keep having tons of typos. Trying to do my hair in the morning is a joke. My hands hurt pretty bad in the AM, so I have to keep taking breaks when I'm doing my hair and makeup. I can't wait to deliver this baby and have it all be over with!!
