Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS); Wrist Pain & Numbness During Pregnancy

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition which causes pain and numbness in the wrist and the hand. It is caused by pressure on the median nerve that runs through your wrist. This often comes from overusing your hand and wrist or increased fluid retention.

In pregnancy, it is very common to feel symptoms of CTS. This is because you are likely to be retaining more fluid and this causes increased pressure on the median nerve. The most common time to initially have symptoms is at night when you are the “puffiest”. As the pregnancy progresses, you may also have symptoms throughout the day.

 How Does Nutrition Help Your Child's Brain DevelopmentNutrition is very important to your child brain development.

Your may know that your child brain is busy building its wiring system from birth. This wiring system consists of neurons (brain cells), their connecting fibers (axons), as well as the connections between them (synapses). When you talk to your child, for example, her brain sends chemical signals along the neurons which then crosses over the synapses and causes more connections to be formed with other neurons. The speed at which this information is transmitted is dependent on the special insulation of the neuron which is called myelin.
