What is the reason for numbness in my hands when I sleep during pregnancy?

First, because it is pressed when simply sleeping, the blood circulation is not smooth, resulting in numbness in the hands; The second is caused by edema, especially in the third trimester, many pregnant mothers will have edema, edema when extravascular lymph fluid accumulates, which will squeeze the blood vessels, thereby affecting blood circulation, and then appear hand numbness, especially when the pregnant mother is asleep and has little activity.

That's because there is a lack of calcium in the body, and a lot of nutrients for pregnant women are absorbed by the fetus in the belly, so there is malnutrition, and the endocrine and hormones in the body have changed, so there will be hand numbness.

When you sleep, you press on some parts of your body, resulting in blood flow that is not particularly smooth, and the blood supply can be delivered to your hands in time.

As the months go by, so does the belly of a pregnant woman. Mobility is becoming more and more inconvenient, and many times in life need people to take care of and help. Some pregnant women sleep at night with numb hands, what is going on, is it because of the same sleeping position for a long time?

Let's learn and understand togetherWhat is the problem with numbness in the hands of pregnant women when they sleep

If a pregnant woman's hand numbness occurs at night when she wakes up from a deep sleep, then the cause of the numbness may be that the pregnant woman's hand is pressed while sleeping. Because after 2 months of pregnancy, the expectant mother's belly will bulge, and the mother will be careful when sleeping, and she will inevitably pillow her hands or protect her belly with her hands, which will be easy to press her hands. If the pregnant woman is in the third trimester of pregnancy, and the pregnant woman also has edema, the reason for the numbness of the pregnant woman's hands at this time is due to the edema of the pregnant woman in the third trimester, and the blood lymph will exude, which will affect the carpal tunnel of the hand, and the carpal tunnel and the palm are connected, and the pressure in the carpal tunnel increases and compresses the nerve of the hand to cause hand numbness.

Hand numbness in pregnant women caused by this cause also occurs at night after deep sleep.

After pregnancy, the sleep quality of most pregnant women has decreased, and some pregnant mothers are worried that the improper sleeping position will affect the development of the fetus because they do not know what the correct sleeping position of pregnant women is.

In fact, lying on the left side is the correct sleeping position for pregnant women. In the early stages of pregnancy, the pregnant mother's body does not change much, and the fetus develops in the womb and still lives in the maternal pelvis, and the direct pressure of external force will not be very heavy, so there is no need to overemphasize the sleeping position. However, in the second and third trimesters, it is best for pregnant women to sleep in the left decubitus position.

Generally, the heart is on the left side, so it is best to sleep on the right side of the bed, as this can reduce the pressure on the heart. But for pregnant women, on the contrary, with the increase of gestational age, the uterus continues to enlarge, and even occupies the entire abdominal cavity, which will make the adjacent tissues and organs be squeezed, and the uterus rotates to the right to varying degrees, so that the ligaments and mesangium that protect the uterus are in a state of tension, and the blood vessels in the mesangium that provide nutrients to the uterus are also stretched, which will affect the oxygen supply of the fetus, and it is easy to make the fetus chronically hypoxic. Pregnant women sleeping in the left decubitus position can reduce the right rotation of the uterus and alleviate the lack of uterine blood supply, which is beneficial to the growth and development of the fetus and the delivery of pregnant women.

Some pregnant women who have been pregnant for a long time are worried that lying on their side will squeeze the fetus, so they simply adopt the supine position. In fact, when a pregnant woman is lying on her back, the huge uterus will squeeze the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava and other large blood vessels in the abdominal cavity, resulting in insufficient arterial blood in some adjacent tissues and organs and venous blood return disorders, resulting in insufficient blood in the uterus itself. Pregnant women lying on their backs for a long time will also make the blood supply to the kidneys insufficient, which is easy to cause vascular tension, reduce urine output, and even edema, and may lead to gestational hypertension syndrome.

From this point of view, it is beneficial for the health of both the pregnant woman and the fetus when she lies on her left side.

Women should pay special attention to their diet and daily life during pregnancy, because a little negligence is particularly easy to affect the fetus, and many pregnant women will have numbness in their hands and feet when sleeping, what is the reason for this? Here are some of the reasons why pregnant women have numb hands and feet when they sleep for your reference.

1. Pregnancy posture influence: pregnant women due to the increasing abdominal circumference, resulting in the center of gravity of the body will lean forward, in order to keep the body balanced, the muscles of the waist and back must be stiffened, which will cause the nerves in the shoulder to be stretched, and then affect the nerves of the hand, pregnant women will feel soreness and numbness in the hands.

2. Compression of the uterus in the later stage: The uterus in the late stage of pregnancy compresses the pelvic blood vessels due to enlargement, resulting in poor blood flow in the lower limbs, resulting in swelling and numbness in the feet.

3. Edema: Edema is a phenomenon of excessive accumulation of water in the body tissues, and the median nerve of the wrist will be compressed due to tissue edema, resulting in obvious soreness and numbness in the hand, which is the manifestation of wrist tunnel syndrome.

4. When edema occurs, it is easy to make the lower limbs swell and feel sore, which is the same as the above reasons.

1. Pregnant women should keep their daily posture in a backrest condition, whether sitting or standing, they should let their backs have proper support, so that the body can maintain balance without excessive force, and can also reduce the soreness of hands and feet caused by low back force.

2. It is not advisable to wear high heels in the late stage of pregnancy, so as not to have an unstable center of gravity, in addition to preventing falls, you should also be careful that the muscles are not strong and the hands and feet are easy to be sore.

3. It is recommended that pregnant women can choose to use a suitable abdominal band in the middle and late stages, which can reduce and share the pressure on the lower back and alleviate the symptoms of soreness and numbness.

4. Before going to bed, raise your hands and feet, and use a small pillow to cushion your wrists and ankles, which can improve the problem of poor blood return.

5. In the thighs, calves, shoulders, etc., do local hot compresses to improve the phenomenon of soreness and numbness.

6. Take some time every day to massage the sour and numb parts.

7. Maintain good prenatal exercise habits.

8. Many pregnant women often get up in the morning, find that their fingers are numb and unable to move, at this time, as long as they open their hands and make fists open and closed fists, they can recover. It may be that when you sleep at night, you turn too little and compress the nerves in your hands and feet, resulting in poor blood circulation.

1. It is more likely to consider cervical spondylosis, which belongs to the early type of intervertebral foraminal stenosis, because the intervertebral foramen is narrow, which leads to compression of the nerve root and numbness of the hand.

If it is cervical spondylosis, it will not solve the problem by using less computers for a few days.

2. It has nothing to do with pregnancy, if the lower limbs are numb or prone to cramps, it may be caused by pregnancy;

3. It is recommended to visit the orthopedic or physiotherapy department, but it is not recommended to have X-ray or MRI examination (harmful to the baby), just consult the brother to see if it can be diagnosed through physical examination, and then give you some conservative suggestions.

Whether you are anemic, if not, the blood is not circulating, it is recommended to drink more jujube water and wolfberry water.

Eat more green leafy vegetables and folic acid, what can I see?

Answer 2: The root cause of numbness is that the circulation of blood is blocked, and after a long time, the oxygen supply to the cells is insufficient. In addition to some circulatory disorders, the cause of this symptom may be a lack of vitamin C, and then an anemia person generally has a low blood oxygen supply capacity, so you should go to the hospital for a check-up, it may be iron deficiency anemia, you have to eat more iron-containing foods, such as "spinach" (vegetables contain the most iron) chicken liver, pork liver, lean meat (containing zinc), kelp (containing iodine), black sesame seeds, black fungus, brown sugar (blood tonic), celery, etc., foods rich in vitamin C have many fresh fruits and green vegetables, Such as hawthorn, tomatoes, bitter gourd, green peppers, lettuce, etc.

Vitamin C has the function of participating in hematopoiesis and promoting iron absorption and utilization. Eat more protein-rich foods such as eggs, dairy, fish, lean meats, shrimp and legumes. It should be noted that you can't eat too much, you can't eat indiscriminately (eating too much iron is easy to get diabetes) in the daily drinking and envy of skin food, you should pay attention to the allocation, try to achieve food diversity.
