Tingly fingers and arm?

Anyone else have this? Last night I rushed to my doctor because I had an "ache" near my heart and my left arm and fingers were a little numb. Blood pressure was fine and EKG came out just fine. He said it's most likely a muscle ache. Probably right, carrying my DD (30lbs) around and my heavy ass purse.

Today while shopping with my mom my arm was really tingly again and my lips felt a little numb. Of course I FREAKED out because I just had read symptoms of a stroke (my friends friend who is 30 just had one and is now in a coma.) I went to my chiropractor and he said it is all "nerve" related and gave me a great adjustment which helped almost right away. I read online that during pregnancy you can experience tingling and numbness in arms and extremities. Anyone else have it? It is annoying and a little frightening at the same time. 


Married my BEST FRIEND on December 1, 2007. Started TTC in March 2008. Found out we were expecting our first child in October 2008 - but had a m/c in December 2008 - resulting in a d&e. Met with a RE in May 2009 and set a plan - but conceived unexpectedly on our own! Our precious little Sophia was born on February 9, 2010! Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

My limbs (mostly hands) get tingly often. I read on Baby Center that it's carpal tunnel and pregnancy makes it worse (or something like that).

I have the same problem. My doctor said that it's pregnancy carpal tunnel. She recommended getting wrist braces and definitely sleeping with them on. Mine hasn't gotten 100 better but it's tolerable this way. Gl.

My right arm started going to sleep while I drive to work and some days both hands go numb while driving...yikes.  I've also woken up twice and my right leg has been completely numb.

I had wicked CTS during my first pregnancy. After delivery, I had almost no use of my right hand for over a month. I really aggravated it during delivery because I had a death grip on the bed rail for 2 hours of pushing.
