Tingly Feet and Hands

Hey all, just wondering if anyone else has had this during pregnancy... I'm getting it every couple of days where my hands or feet will just go all numb and tingly just like pins and needles but I wont have been sitting on them or anything like you would normally do to get pins and needles.... Hope that makes sense....

Oh bugger, I thought maybe because it was in my feet aswell it might not be that... Its a bugger too coz when it hits your hands you can't do much aye!! Is it really gunna get worse can you do anything for it? Is it too early for me to have it?? Sorry for all the questions lol

I had it this time off and on and just random so far...gosh i hope it doesn't get worse for either of us!

I had it so bad while pregnant with Taylah, drove me mad lol.

Especially at night, it did sometimes prevent me from sleeping

but is it normal to have in feet also?? ive heard in hands, cos i did some research on it when i had the growth on my brain, everyone kept telling me it was that, but ended up being something completely different...........

A friend of mine who is due next week just got this, and her MW has ordered some extra blood tests, as it can be a sign of decreasing liver function, esp in late pregnancy.

I know you aren't that far through, but I would check with your MW just to be on the safe side.

My MW doesn't mind what questions I ask her!

Thanks everyone for your answers, It seems to be more in my hands than feet over the last couple of days and probably only had it a few times each day. I will definitely have a chat to my midwife at some stage and see what she thinks, Shes away for the whole month of August so will just wait till she gets back unless it gets worse! And yep Trish will let ya know what she says Thanks so much ladies!!

hi there,
I have the bile liver thing that everyone is talking about. It's could Intro Uterine Colestasis of Pregnancy or I.U.C.P. Generally when you get it though you get swelling and really ichy starting from your hands and feet and then the rest of your body. They usually don't let you go past 38 weeks ethier (i was induced due to it). I personally don't think it sounds like that or carpal tunnel because you don't get carpal tunnel in your feet. I would be more inclined to say that you should get your midwife to check your blood presure and do some blood and urine tests just to check its not pre-eclampsia. I think this due to you not being that far through and one of the first signs is tingling and pins and needle type sensasions in the hands and feet. usually followed by other things as it goes on. You can find heaps about it on the net.
