Anyone else's limbs going numb/asleep a lot more frequently?

Question

I'm 18 weeks and I'm finding my limbs go numb/fall asleep all the time, even when I'm using them. When I sleep on my right side, if I don't flip over throughout the night I'll wake up to my left arm completely asleep even though I'm sleeping on my right side. If I'm laying in bed holding my phone, my hands will fall asleep. I know our circulation is worse now so I'm guessing that's what it is.

Answer

I would suggest going to a chiropractor to help... because of the pregnancy we have a lot more strain on our bodies, and the spine becomes misaligned. I go to a chiropractor and I’ve been much better on everything to be honest!

Answer

Could be the beginning of carpal tunnel. My mom had it when she was pregnant. I think I have it, but not unbearable yet. They make braces that are supposed to help.

Answer

Normal. In my experience, it went away after baby.

Answer

I would understand if the body part that fell asleep (for me it’s my hands) were on bottom, but the hand on top is giving me trouble! It’s so strange.

Answer

Yes! I wake up with a completely dead/numb arm pretty frequently now, and my ring and pinky finger are ALWAYS numb when I wake up now.

Answer

Yeah might be carpal tunnel, had it with my first but not until way later when it was waking me up at night and was very painful. 
Just be aware of it and get braces if it gets worse. I’ve got my braces ready cuz I’m pretty sure I’ll have to wear them again and sooner this time.
