Hi all, do first time mummies experience pain in wrists? Not sure is it because I always support baby's neck n bottom w my wrists when I lift her up or I use strength wrongly when carrying her, my wrists are hurting more and more when flexing. Should I see GP or specialist or Chinese sinseh? Any advice?

It's pretty common among mummies. DeQuervain's tenosynovitis (mummy's thumb) - pain between the thumb and forearm. I went to see a Chinese Sinseh after my confinement but you can try wearing a thumb splint wrist support to see if it works for you before heading to the doctor.
