Thumb pain

Helen • A small teacher from Guernsey, UK.

Hi Mummas,

I had issues with carpal tunnel in the third trimester when I had my son in 2026. I’m currently 8w3d and have really bad thumb pain in my left hand to the point where I can’t use the thumb. I can’t even straighten it. Has anyone had similar symptoms? Will this last all pregnancy? I can’t ask all midwife as I haven’t even had my booking appointment yet (local services are sooooo slow).
