I'm in my third trimester and I've noticed that my hands and feet are falling asleep pretty frequently. When I wake up in the middle of the night my hands are usually asleep. If I lay down during the day my feet fall asleep. My fingers also get tingly on and off throughout the day. Is this normal? Or should I be concerned about this?

Mine did all the time while I was in my third tri. I would get up in the middle of the night and not be able to feel anything! Even postpartum I would get up and not be able to hold the baby. Not idea why, but I had a lot of swelling problems. Eventually it went away.

Mine did it pretty frequently too, and like matador84 - they did a while post partum too. I think it's normal, but if you're worried, bring it up at your next prenatal appointment.

Mine did that a lot.

I"m just finishing up the second trimester and this happens to me frequently. My outer three fingers on both hands will sometimes be a little numb for days on end. I just assumed it was carpal tunnel.

This happens to me a few times a week.

It is normal (I asked my OB) and it went away about one month pp for me, I think.

Yes --- my hands fell asleep every single night at the end of my pregnancy.... They used to hurt too!
-
The day I had the baby it stopped by the way!

Same here, and it never went away. 19 months PP I still have feet that fall asleep more often when I'm sitting. I think all of my blood just got routed elsewhere and it never quite went back to normal.

Yes!! My feet and legs fell asleep so often while I was pregnant. It always happened after sitting on the toilet. Pregnancy constipation plus legs falling asleep from sitting on the toilet for more than a minute? Fun!!!

I developed severe carpel tunnel syndrome during my third trimester so my hands were essentially numb all the time and I pretty much lost all fine motor movement abilities. It was fun
My feet were ok though! My hands went back to normal by 4 weeks pp, but there was a huge improvement within 3-4 days of giving birth.
