Numb Writing Hand

[christiep28]

Hi Ladies! Currently 36 weeks along and 36 years old. For the past few days I've been experiencing numbing in my writing hand. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there are any tricks to help resolve it. It makes writing thank you notes kinda hard!! Thanks!

Its carpel tunnel syndrome caused by the increased fluid retention in your body & accompanying swelling. It should go away shortly after you give birth (think a couple if weeks). Its totally normal.

I got a brace for it. I am told it's because I am a little swollen right now. It's numb all day but I know that this is all very temporary! Soon it will all be a distant memory!!

Yes, I'm 36 and 30 weeks pregnant. My right hand feels numb and swollen in the morning times. I think mine is because of some way that I'm sleeping because it goes away during the day.

I've got carpel tunnel too. I find strapping it helps but thats about it. It went really quickly after my first was born so fingers crossed its the same for you!
