Hi, im currently 31weeks and been experincing hand pain specially in the morning. I can't close my hands + it is very swollen. I think its carpal tunnel syndrome. Anyone experience the same?

yes it’s quite common due to pregnancy hormones and fluid retention. highly likely to be De Quervain's Tenosynovitis (instead of carpal tunnel). the only way to alleviate it is resting your wrist (don’t bend more than 45 deg). I had it and worsened post partum too. acupuncture helped relieve it. it’ll take time to fully recover
Read moreI experience this. Every time I wake up, my finger joints are sore and swollen. And I have issues clenching my fists. It gets slightly better during the day but still swollen. Heard it’s normal cos of pregnancy hormones.
