I will be nine weeks tomorrow and could barely sleep last night because my wrists and elbows were throbbing. A quick Google search tells me it’s likely pregnancy related carpal tunnel, although it appears that it’s usually more common later in a pregnancy. Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms (this early)? Any tips for relieving the pain?

I didn’t have elbows but I’d try the guards for wrists as it will probably only get worse. I got mine at cvs I think nothing fancy but they helped at least some, I generally only wore at night but you can do day also. I’ve heard of people who have it really bad getting cortisone shots later on, maybe something to ask about and keep in your back pocket.

@MLE81: I’m pregnant with my second and have a lot of pain. Not the elbows and wrists but shoulders, back, legs. I was told by doctor that this is normal for me with the baby. I also got eczema during pregnancy. The hormones cause all sorts of crap. Run any concerns by your OB

Had the wrist pain at 8 weeks and wore wrist wrap. It helped a little.

This happened to me this pregnancy around the same time. Extreme pain in my wrists, knuckles, and knees. Luckily it resolved on its own... hoping it does the same for you!!
