Hi Sloane,

I am a bit the same as you. I am waking in the night with completely numb hands. Not easy getting and going for a pee or to tend to my son!

I am only 14 weeks and dont have any swelling either. I talked to my sis who is a nurse and she thinks that its probably the start of CTS and that in the second and third tri I will probably have more of an issue with it.

I did read that sleeping on your hands/arms makes it worse and I always sleep with my arm under the pillow, so I have changed that and it has made a bit of a difference. I dont have any symptoms during the day apart from some stiffening and swelling when I have been typing for a while, so then I just flex my wrists a bit and that helps.

I dont think there is anything to do about it is there? I have heard that if it gets really bad some women wear splints to bed (YUK). I already wear a splint on my leg to bed so I dont want to look like a horror film and have them on my hands too...
