What were your biggest pregnancy surprises and pet peeves?
in Pregnancy ·
Hello everyone 👋
I’m currently twenty-two weeks along. I’ve been lucky enough to dodge the morning sickness and those constant bathroom trips, but unfortunately, I haven't escaped the tingling sensations in my hands. It’s become quite a struggle; I often wake up around 5:00 AM feeling such intense numbness that it’s hard to even touch them—it feels more like a sharp, stinging pain than anything else. Even trying to stretch things out doesn't help; if anything, it just makes the discomfort worse. My husband, Jim, keeps telling me there isn't much to be done and that everything should settle down naturally after the baby arrives...
To be honest, I'm finding it incredibly frustrating when my mother-in-law insists on rubbing my belly, and today, she even went as far as giving it her very first kiss. I was just left 🤷
