Pregnancy & Parenting

Getting you prepared for the best of both worlds

PREGNANCY DAYS

For most pregnant women, carrying a baby to term is largely a mysterious process. This section helps new parents answer some of the most important questions about pregnancy and childbirth.

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome

This is pain felt in the hands and forearm usually in mid and late pregnancy and it also disappears on its own within a couple of weeks of birth.

The thumb, middle and index finger and half of your ring finger may feel numb and/or get pins and needles. The pain may travel up to the wrists and forearm. The pain aggravates at night and may also increase on movement of the thumb.

This is caused by the swelling in the hands leading to compression of the nerve (median nerve).

Tips:

• Keep your hands on a separate pillow while sleeping.
• Do gentle exercise of the wrist like circling and flexing.
• Drink plenty of water.
• You can also go to a physiotherapist to learn specific exercises.
