Question

This is too minor to bother the Doc with, have any other mother's experienced this? My thumb and forefinger on my left hand twitch and jump randomly even in my sleep for the past three days now also my little finger and the finger next to it on the same hand have constant pins and needles, it's not painful more annoying then anything else. I have never had it before, sound familiar to anyone?

Answer 1

It's not too minor to call the doc. it's the first sign of parkinson's disease.

Answer 2

I'm having a lot of numbness in my hands right now because of pregnancy. My Dr. said it's because I'm retaining fluid - mostly my feet and legs are swollen... but at night when I elevate my feet, the fluid goes into the rest of my body and it makes my hands get swollen too. The swelling pinches the nerves in the wrist - similar to carpal tunnel syndrome. sometimes it's my entire hand, sometimes just a few fingers.

It would seem unlikely that at 15 weeks you'd be retaining that much fluid, but it's possible. Be careful of the amount of salt you eat and try to drink plenty of fluid to flush the sodium out of your system faster!

Answer 3

I don't think it is very normal, but I guess it is possible becasue all the blood in your body is trying to take care of an unborn child now. That could make it so that it does not worrie to much about your fingers. But I would still suggest that you talk to a nurse to be sure it may not be something else, like a blood clot.
