Anybody else get numb hands?
I'm in week 19 and for the past week or two I am continuously losing feeling, especially in the right hand. It always happend when I'm sleeping, but it's been happening more and more when I'm awake. Anybody else? Is this a random part of carpal tunnel or something else?

Yes, I had it right around that time too. It's pregnancy related carpal tunnel and it sucks! It really interfered with my sleeping for a few nights. The good news is that it stopped after about 2 weeks (at least for me it did).
eta: they tell you not to sleep on your hands or put any pressure on them and that helps...

This just started for me last week, my wrist is what really hurts me.
I have been told that if it is pregnancy related carpal tunnel, it goes away within a week of delivery.

Re: Anybody else get numb hands?
mine got so bad i had to change my duties at work... I'm a pastry chef...
the doctor said it was swelling in my hands and the nerve being pinched... i was in so much aching pain all night long it would keep me up... then the numbness would be there in the am.... where i couldn't lean on one side without that hand going numb...
she said unfortunately just another pregoo symptom and will go away after birth...
it did get a little better since i stopped using my hands so much at work...

Re: Anybody else get numb hands?
I had it and fortunately it went away before delivery because I had a really bad stomach virus and lost a lot of the fluid I had been retaining that was causing it.
I wore a wrist brace at night and it made it better.

Re: Anybody else get numb hands?
I also have this, I wake up with it but I am noticing if I stay in a certain position, they both start going numb even when I'm awake.

Re: Anybody else get numb hands?
I love this site!!!!!!!!! Any symptoms and you find others that have had it. Does anybody know where I can get wrist braces? Do I need a Rx from the dr?
