swollen-

[Novembermommy1104]

Why do my hands only look swollen at night when im laying down in bed? I believe damn pregnancy carpal tunnel is to blame :( my fingers and hands are sooo stiff when I get up in the middle of the night, and in the morning. But it goes away within The first hour if being awake. Its just super uncomfortable during the night. Anyone else?

I had pregnancy carpal tunnel.last pregnancy. It does not feel good. :( this time around I'm not working so I'm not typing as much and I haven't had the same trouble yet

I actually had a doctors appoint today. No protein in Urine, blood pressure beautiful as always....she indeed confirmed pregnancy carpal tunnel, which isssimilar to fluid retention. Its caused by pooling of fluid in your wrists while your laying down at night because of restricted blood vessels in my wrists and hands ( carpal tunnel) good thing it goes away shortly after I wake up and its nothing serious. Thank you ladies :)

Ive never heard of pregnancy carpal tunnel.... probably water retention. Try taking an epson salt bath.

My feet don't ever swell (well they did once when it was 103° and I had been on them all day) its sooooo annoying, and makes rolling over in bed,adjusting, my pillow, not to mention whipping my hoohaa after I pee in the middle of the night difficult lol
