Hi, I understand your concern. At 8 months pregnancy, numbness of hands /fingers can be due to - pressure on nerve supplying hand ( during sleep - wrong posture)/ swelling on hands can cause pressure on nerves ( carpel tunnel syndrome) - Exposure to cold, - severe anemia. * management- - If you have swelling over feet/ hands- get your blood pressure checked & follow medications advised./ severe anemia can cause swelling on hands. Treatment of anemia is to be taken with expert advise. - Vitamin B complex /B12 supplements are helpful. - Use a splint/ brace to keep the carpel tunnels wider ,this will prevent pressure on nerves. - Physical exercises for hands help. Thanks. Thanks. - avoid exposure to cold.
