I got something like that. Not with pregnancy though. It was a bad desk setup at work, lower spine on a bad angle. I guess baby belly could have the same effect (pushing the lower back around)]]> Wed, 24 Nov 2010 20:39:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36825&PID=1207274&title=prickling-in-fingers#1207274 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36825&PID=1207264&title=prickling-in-fingers#1207264 Author: SupaMama

Yes I have started to get this recently, especially at night. I get numb fingers and prickly feeling joints. It isn't too bad in the day though. I think it is related to carpel tunnel.]]> Wed, 24 Nov 2010 20:28:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36825&PID=1207264&title=prickling-in-fingers#1207264 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36825&PID=1206722&title=prickling-in-fingers#1206722 Author: newme

Sounds like carpel tunnel to me too. I had it really badly with DS, and I started to get it during this pregnancy but found if I cut out sugary food it massively reduced swelling and the carpel tunnel went away.

Talk to your midwife about it, and she probably has some good ideas to help.]]> Wed, 24 Nov 2010 09:00:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36825&PID=1206722&title=prickling-in-fingers#1206722 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36825&PID=1206556&title=prickling-in-fingers#1206556 Author: Happy lady

I had this feeling, and it was irritationg, but my MW and my Chiropractor said that this is normal, and it went away straight after I had my babe.......]]> Tue, 23 Nov 2010 21:02:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36825&PID=1206556&title=prickling-in-fingers#1206556 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36825&PID=1206541&title=prickling-in-fingers#1206541 Author: weeheebaby

LIke pins n needles type prickling? Is it worse at night (during sleeping). Sounds like maybe the beginnings of pregnancy induced carpal tunnel. (that's how it starts for me). If it goes onto pins n needles, numb fingers and pain, then it's pretty much likely to be carpal tunnel. It does (usually nearly always) disappear after baby is born. I *think* it's caused by swelling.
If you do get it worse and it is carpal tunnel def def def def get wrist splints. I feel like a dork wearing them (esp in public where everyone wants to talk about them all the time etc etc when i'd rather just hide under a rock). They are semi expensive but out of both my pregnancies so far they have made an ENORMOUS difference to the pain. I'm sitting here typing in them at the moment so you can still do stuff with them on but you can't move your wrist much. Talk to your MW about it, esp if it gets worse (don't wait too long to talk about it like i did first time round)

I had this, I forget what the MW said but recall her saying it was something to do with blood flow. ]]> Tue, 23 Nov 2010 20:32:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36825&PID=1206523&title=prickling-in-fingers#1206523 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36825&PID=1206448&title=prickling-in-fingers#1206448 Author: amme_eilyk

Is anyone experiencing this? At the time it feels like I have a prickle in my finger, but it moves fingers and hands and I have not been near anything prickly. It is driving me insane.]]> Tue, 23 Nov 2010 18:42:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36825&PID=1206448&title=prickling-in-fingers#1206448
