Wrist pain
Gestational timeline: 3rd Trimester
Overview
Wrist pain, often associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, can occur during pregnancy due to fluid retention and swelling in the wrists and hands. To alleviate wrist pain, avoid repetitive motions that exacerbate symptoms, wear a wrist splint for support, and practice gentle stretching exercises. If wrist pain persists or worsens, consult your healthcare provider for evaluation and guidance on managing symptoms safely during pregnancy. It typically occurs during Weeks 33 (3rd Trimester) of pregnancy.
