Strange tingling in left arm

[LeopardstownNewMum]

This is odd. Only started this week (25th week). Feels like funny bone all the way up and down arm. Worde at night. Read it might be carpel tunnel. Anyone experience similar? It's our first child so everything is new...

Thanks

I had the same thing in my last pregnancy. It is carpal tunnel. I wore the brace things also at night and it helped. Surprisingly it did go away like a week after I delivered. Try to go by the braces. I think my doctor also said to elevate them at night but I could never get comfortable but would do it when possible during the day.

I haven't had anything in my arms but my fingertips have been numb almost constantly for at least a month, and I'm also at 25 weeks. I also had some passing carpal tunnel-like pain when it started. My doc recommended wrist splints at night so I got cheap Ace velcro wraps and they seem to be working. I still have numbness in my right thumb/forefinger almost all the time but it's pretty mild. You might want to try an elbow brace to immobilize yiur arm at night - mention it to your doc and see what they say.

Carpal tunnel symptoms are very common due to fluid changes/swelling; I understand they go away after birth for most people. I also have sore tendons in my foot in the morning but it goes away quickly.
