The second trimester is supposed to be the honeymoon period which begins this week. Not surprisingly, my sickness has not waned. To make matter worse on top of my hip problem, my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) kicked in today.
For those unfamiliar with CTS, CTS in a nutshell is compressed median nerve in your wrist (pic above) which is connected to your fingers. The most common symptoms are numbness or pins and needles in your hand. I also experience weakness in my lower arm.
When I was pregnant with Eddie, the CTS came about only some time during my last trimester. The pins and needles in my right hand was 24/7. Imagine having numb hand ALL the time. However you do get used to it. It only went away about 1 month after I had Eddie.
I just cannot believe that this time around, I will have to put up with pins and needles for the next 150 days or so.
