Pregnancy can be full of surprises, and sometimes your own body can feel a little strange. Many moms-to-be notice numbness or tingling in their hands and fingers, which can be alarming if you don’t know why it happens. This often occurs because your body is holding more fluid, hormones are changing, and the nerves in your hands and wrists can get squeezed, especially when you sleep or do daily tasks like typing, cooking, or scrolling on your phone. Carpal tunnel syndrome, poor circulation, or even mild vitamin deficiencies can also make your hands feel “asleep” or tingly. The good news is simple changes in your daily routine—like adjusting your wrist position at night, doing gentle hand exercises, and taking care of your posture—can really help. Read our article to understand the reasons behind hand numbness in pregnancy and discover easy ways to feel more comfortable every day.
