yes i have been having trouble with it. I am 30 wks and it's been a bit better lately but I had days where my hands were numb whenever I did anything. They would be really bad at night and I would sit in the chair with my hands hanging down to get feeling back in them. I finally got a splint and it has helped some.

I have it as well. There's good days and bad days. Sometimes I can't even sleep at night due to the pain.

Yes!! Its a pain in the wrists lol. I also have tennis elbow on my right elbow...super fun as I work in retail. I sleep in soft splints most nights-especially on my right which is worse, and use them at work as well. It should go away after giving birth...the tennis elbow however could go on a long time...I need more time to ice it.

I had it in both hands when I was pregnant with my daughter. It was awful! It was the worst at night but was bad throughout the day too. I was a waitress which made it that much worse.

Thought I was the only one! My right hand, wrist, and arm are the worst! My fingers go numb and I feel like I lose all control in my hand. Hoping that this goes away once I have the baby, afraid that it will happen when um holding him...
