Pregnancy Pain

Pregnancy timeline to date : 35 weeks 2 days

Counting down to POP date : 4 weeks 5 days or 33 more days!!

Pain level : Going upwards

My oh my! When I was in my mid-34 weeks, I suddenly developed Carpal Tunnel syndrome. It started on Monday, eve of National Day. I woke up feeling my right hand weird. It felt numb. Later as the day passed, I experienced pain in my fingers joint. I tolerated it for 2 days before calling Dr Tan (my gynae) to check with him.

Apparently, there's nothing much he can do for me or I can do for myself. I just have to wait out and it will go away after delivery.

So now, I am enduring this new pain. Sometimes in the middle of the night, my right arm will experience pins and needles and I have to shake shake to get the blood circulate better. Sometimes, my fingers don't feel like belonging to me. I can't bend them as I will. I have to use my left hand to physically "activate" my right fingers.

All the times, I can't bend my fingers especially my right hand fully. I will have this pain, right and left hands. I have to stop my violin lesson prematurely as I can't control my fingers well now. And I think I have to stop giving piano lesson soon.

Sigh!

But still, I keep telling Xiao Poh he must wait till 17 Sept. For now, I just have to fling my hands more and massage the joints more.
