Why do pregnant women feel numbness in their hands and feet?

Many pregnant women experience numbness in their limbs after pregnancy. In fact, numbness in the limbs does not mean that you have any disease. For some people, it may be a normal condition, but pregnant women do not know what it is. So what causes numbness in the limbs during pregnancy?

1. The blood circulation system is not smooth. If the blood circulation system of the pregnant woman's body is not smooth, it will cause numbness in the limbs. At this time, the pregnant woman must pay attention to strengthening her exercise. When sleeping, she should not always maintain the same posture. She should change her sleeping posture frequently. If she always maintains the same posture, it will cause edema. She should also massage her body more often and do not stand or sit for a long time.

2. Calcium deficiency is also a key cause of numbness in the limbs. There is another reason for numbness in the limbs during pregnancy, that is, the pregnant woman's body lacks calcium, so it is necessary to supplement calcium and zinc at this time. You can also eat more foods that are rich in calcium.

3. Poor diet. In the diet, try to avoid eating too greasy or spicy foods, and eat less salt, because too much salt will cause edema in pregnant women. As long as you make reasonable arrangements in diet and do moderate exercise, it will be fine.

It is common for pregnant women to experience numbness in the limbs in some cases, but if this symptom persists, pregnant women must be checked in time. Only in this way can they better understand their health status and better ensure the healthy growth and development of the fetus. Therefore, expectant mothers must also pay attention to rest in their daily lives.

If a pregnant woman wakes up from a deep sleep at night and feels numbness in her fingers, it may be due to pressure caused by sleeping at night. If it is in the late pregnancy, and accompanied by edema, this is the edema of the pregnant woman in the late pregnancy, blood tissue fluid will leak out, which will affect the carpal tunnel of the arm. The carpal tunnel and the palm are interconnected, and the pressure in the carpal tunnel increases, compressing the nerves in the arm, resulting in numbness in the hand. Numbness in the hands of pregnant women caused by this type of reason often occurs after they fall asleep at night.

In addition, calcium deficiency can also cause numbness in the fingers of pregnant women. As the baby grows and develops, the calcium needed by expectant mothers is increasing. When the mother does not have enough calcium, she will experience numbness in the limbs and back pain.

At the same time, I would like to remind everyone that due to the heavy weight in the late pregnancy, it is very easy to cause low back pain, and even lumbar disc herniation. Therefore, pregnant women are expected to pay more attention to medical care during pregnancy. Once any abnormality occurs, they should see a doctor for examination and treatment first.
