lately when i'm asleep at night i sleep with one of my arms under my pillow (which i have always done) and i always get a rude awakening rolling over and its like my hand is numb. i mean at first i thought that maybe it was because i was laying completly on my arm belly and all but even just when i have it under the pillow. it hurts so bad one night it took me like 10 minutes of opening and closing my hand to get feeling back in it. what i want to know is there anyone else who have this problem

If I sleep on my arm I get the same thing..
I think its normal...
You're cutting off blood flow to your hand that way.

i have been diagnosed with gestational carpal tunnel. i had it with my first pregnancy BAD!! this one is not quite as extreme, but on nights when i can get no relief i put my wrist braces on. all you have to do is ask yer OB about it and they will give you some for free!! they arent very comfy, but when you wake up 10 extra times a night, they REALLY help!! now if they could just find a 'brace' to help us stop peeing so much!!! lol
