Numbness in right fingertips during late pregnancy

Pregnancy is a happy and joyful thing, but in this long process of waiting for the baby to come, the mother's body will experience various discomforts. Especially in the late stages of pregnancy, as the baby grows, it will be very difficult for the mother. In the later stages, swelling of the legs and feet and numbness of the fingers often occur. Today we will learn what to do if your left hand fingers are numb during late pregnancy?

What should I do if my left hand fingers are numb during late pregnancy?

1. If your fingers are numb, you can bend and straighten your fingers (i.e. clench your fists) more often, or ask your family to pinch them. This can help the blood circulation system and improve the swelling of your hands and feet.

2. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to see if you have a spinal disease.

3. Pay attention to your diet. In terms of diet, you don’t need to eat overly spicy foods or irritating foods. In terms of diet, you must focus on light dishes.

Causes of numbness in fingers during late pregnancy

1. Numbness in hands after waking up is related to sleeping posture. If the numbness in the hands of a pregnant woman occurs after waking up from a deep sleep at night, the cause of the numbness in the hands of the pregnant woman may be pressure caused by sleeping at night. Because of the late pregnancy, the expectant mother's belly becomes bigger, and the mother will inevitably put her hands under the pillow or use force to protect her belly when sleeping, which can easily cause pressure and numbness in the hands.

2. Edema in late pregnancy is compressed. Many pregnant women will experience varying degrees of edema in the later stages of pregnancy. Because on the flexion side of the human wrist, there is a tube called the carpal tunnel formed by the carpal bone and the cruciate ligament. There are 9 tendons and the median nerve passing through the carpal tunnel. If a pregnant woman has edema, the tissue fluid in the blood will leak out and affect the carpal tunnel of the arm. The carpal tunnel and the palm of the hand are interconnected, and the pressure in the carpal tunnel increases, compressing the nerves in the arm and causing numbness in the hand.

3. Calcium deficiency during pregnancy causes numbness in the hands. Calcium is a nutrient element for organisms. For the human body, nerve transmission, muscle contraction, blood coagulation, growth hormone release and milk secretion all require the participation of high-quality protein. When the expectant mother's body does not have enough high-quality protein, she will experience limb numbness and often back pain.

4. Anemia during pregnancy causes numbness in the hands. Megaloblastic anemia during pregnancy is mainly caused by malnutrition, folic acid or vitamin B12 deficiency. Among them, vitamin B12 deficiency can cause peripheral neuritis, and it can also cause symptoms such as fatigue, numbness of hands and feet, and sensory impairment during pregnancy.

In general, this is some understanding of what to do if the left hand fingers are numb in the late pregnancy. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Being a mother is not easy. In addition to adapting to the changes in your own identity, you also have to bear the changes in your body. Some pregnancy reactions make mothers physically and mentally exhausted, but I faced it with a positive attitude and solved it in a scientific way.
