I had pregancy related carpal tunnel because I gained a TON of weight with my baby. It went away when I got back down to a normal weight, bu tit did take a long time ... about 5 months.

i have the same issue, n my dr. said its carpal tunnel syndrome too, she said it can sometimes take upto a yr or two for it to go away after delivery n suggested i wear the wrist splint too. havent tried it yet, but will soon. i know its frustrating. i even get it during the day while i'm doing stuff i.e, changing diaper, cutting veges, driving, feeding my baby.... the list goes on. try the splints, maybe u'll get some relief, my doc said i'll have to wear it for atleast 3mths.
hope this helps. good luck

theres really nothing to worry about. it would stop on its own just ensure that u massage them well, take fruits and lots of water and u would be fine. i felt same up until 2 months ago

I have that also but I was told when my arms are bent it cuts off circulation and I may need surgery to move some arteries so blood can flow. look into it.

no it is probably carpal tunnel syndrome which is very common during and after pregnancy . i have it and it is very uncomfortable . it seems to get worse in the winter . have they said to try braces at night . that really helps me . in fact i am going to get mine out tonight . i have had problems with it since my 2nd child . it comes and goes . motrin and similar drugs can be some what helpful . ask your dr. about it . it does have something to do with the water retention and weight gain but it sound like carpal tunnel. good luck .
