Tingling hands at night!

i have a really good pregnancy pillow and I make an effort to lay on my left side but it is super uncomfortable for me. I usually move to my back or right side. Regardless it seems like my hands tingle and fall asleep no matter what position I am in but on my back it tends to be the worst. It goes away as soon as I shake them but its annoying. Google isn't telling me anything specific so I was wondering if anyone has any idea what it might be.

Yes, mention that to your doctor. It really could be that you are laying in an unnatural way like with your hand under your side or something.  I put a pillow behind me so I didn't flip over on my back too.  But mention the tingling hand to your care provider.  good luck hon

this has been happening to me too, my OB said that some women get like carpal tunnel during pregnancy and that if I got the braces from the drugstore it may help.

I remember getting pins and needles in my hands with my first pregnancy. If your are swollen I would mention it to your doctor or midwives.
