pregnancy question should i be worried?

 

hi

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and have had a bad time of it so far, been in hospital for most of it so far.

my question is:

I'm getting tingling and numbness in both my hands and feet and at the same time i also get very dizzy. 

i am just wondering if anyone else has had this problem at all? and should i be ringing my doctor about it?

thank you in advance.

Hi,

I had these problems when i suffered from anxiety attacks, have you had any experience with these at all, maybe its stress related.. another thing ,  pregnancy causes circulation troubles in some people and sometimes the tingling can be related to that aswell.. I think best to ask your doctor about anything that worries you while you are pregnant and at least that will help you to stay relaxed and happy..if you have already been unwell and hospitalised i would assume that the doctors are concerned about your health  a little so its always best to check with a professional.. cheers Melissa xo

I had tingling in my hands and feet when I was pregnant as well. My OB-GYN told me it was temporary carpal tunnel and after I had the baby it would go away. Sure enough after I had my daughter it stopped.

I got dizzy too and it turned out I was anemic, which I didn't know.

I'm guessing you have had some bad morning sickness there.  Been there too, and it is the pitts.

As for the tingling, numbness and dizzyness, your body is probably low on energy which will cause this, as will having low blood pressure.

You need to tell your gp about it and maybe ask your local pharmacy if they will take your blood pressure for you on a daily basis to keep an eye on it.

I got told bye my midwife that those symptoms u described could be caused by low blood pressure.

Also had this with Annaliese if you remember me saying,  it came down to 2 things when i was at the docs and that was low in iron or high blood pressure....I would go to the doctors anyway bec it can many things. Good luck

Definitely go and get it checked out. I had that too and it turned out I was low in iron.

Hi,

I had the tingling numbness sensation in my hands too, it was carpal tunnel syndrome. Here is a link that talks about it and bythe information the page has you should be able to work out if you have this condition. You should see a doctor just to be safe, i did and thats how i found out it was carpal tunnel syndrome.
