Tingling, burning fingers and constant headaches

[baby_hopes]

My fingers have been tingling/numb for the past 6 weeks or so...but lately they have been constantly burning like I would have burnt them on the stove or something.... and I have been having constant headaches everyday...I have a prenatal appointment monday, should I just wait it out until then?

Thank you! I hope it hasn't either! I'll look into the wrist bands as well :)

i had carpel tunnel like i said bad! and i think for the most part majority of woman who get it while prego it does go away...with this pregnancy it is already starting up again :( there are wrist bands you can get that help with it....

i would definitely get you BP checked as soon as you can... take care! fingers crossed it hasnt changed... congrats with your pregnancy!

I have to go for a boob ultrasound tonight for bleeding from nipple so I'll get it checked out at the same time instead of waiting until monday's appoitment

Yea the tingling is carpel tunnel syndrome. I had it with all four of my pregnancies and now my baby is 8 months old and i still have it. There's not much you can do except maybe surgery. It hurts really bad

[Lesley27]

yes it can, it doesnt mean it has but it is something important to rule out... even if you stop in just to get your BP checked its better to be safe... or if you have any other opitons... like some pharmacys have BP machines you can test yourself...and because you know what your BP has been you can get an idea if it is creepin up on ya

Everytime I been going my BP was very low... I think it was 96/50 last prenatal appointment like 2 weeks ago, could it become high on it's own like that?

[Lesley27]

Yes it goes away after but the concern right now is what your BP is doing just like the prev post said about Pre eclampsia.... swelling is common later in pregnancy along with the numbness but the fact that you are having headaches is concerning and you should get it checked out id as ASAP... so i would contact your Dr...i had swelling so bad at the end that i was full of fluid up to my abdomen and i have noe feeling once so ever in my fingers... but my BP was good, so if your BP is still good then its okay but the BP is important to get check

Does it all only go away after pregnancy??

The burning/tingling could be pregnancy onset carpal tunnel.  The legs issue is called "pitted adema" you're retaining a lot of fluid.  I got it when I had pre eclampsia with my last pregnancy :-(

30 weeks tomorrow... my swelling has been pretty bad, like if I push on my legs it makes a hole and doesn't come back to normal right away

[Lesley27]

I would at least phone your Dr and ask about it... how far along are you? do you have noticeable swelling?
