Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Why are my fingers going numb You are experiencing the carpal tunnel
syndrome. Alhough it generally affects people who have to perform repetitive
tasks with their fingers (e.g. pianist, typists, etc.), it can also affect
expectant mothers. The thumb, middle, index and half of the ring finger
pains because the carpal tunnel, through which nerves run, swells during
pregnancy. The pressure causes numbness, tingling, burning and sometimes
pain. It could also spread to the full hand, wrist and arm. Wearing a wrist
splint and taking vitamin B6 generally gives relief. Otherwise if the pain
is severe, consult your doctor.
I have a tingling sensation in my hands and feet. Pregnant women are known to experience the sensation of pins and needles in their extremities. It is nothing serious. Your circulation is fine. Just change your position.
