Painful hands and wrists
I’m on week 18 soon and experiencing painful hands and wrists. The pain woke me up several times especially at night during sleep. Anyone else experiencing the same? Read that most have this only in 3rd trimester…
I had this too around mid-pregnancy and it turned out to be carpal tunnel, which can happen earlier for some of us due to hormonal changes and fluid retention. The night pain is really disruptive I know, so might be good to mention it to your PD or gynae at your next visit just to confirm what's going on. In the meantime, some mums find that wearing a wrist splint at night helps take pressure off, and doing gentle stretches during the day makes a difference. Hopefully it settles down for you soon, but best to get it checked out just to be safe.
