Postpartum Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

So guess what!? My fingers, hands, and arms have been falling asleep every night I've been going to sleep for a month now. And when I'm up, my fingers are tingly pretty much the whole entire day and night. I only have half feeling in my fingers. Yay! :/ I have postpartum carpal tunnel.

It can be from pumping, holding child certain way, or for no reason at all and just because your nerve decided to go that way, lol. Carpal tunnel syndrome has also been reported in non breastfeeding mothers. It can take a few weeks to a few months after delivery for the symptoms to resolve, but it usually clears up completely.
