    Morning all,
    Hope everyone is well and has had good nights sleep.
    I'm looking some advice - my hands and feet have been slighty swollen since the hot weather a few weeks ago and haven't went down but I have just put it down to warmer weather & pregnancy but the past week I've woken in the mornings with pins and needles in my fingers and stiffness. I'm just concerened because it's starting to hurt like when I was driving in this morning to work. It isn't unbearable but I just wanted to get your opinion before I ignore it. I looked on the net and my symptoms point to carpal tunnel syndrome??? Grateful for any advice.

    Sounds like CPS to me. I've had it for a couple of months now and like you, it's not unbearable, just irritating more than anything. Mine has never got any worse, if that helps, I have better days and worse days, but overall it's about the same.

    When I went to the physio about my back pain and SPD, I mentioned the CTS and she gave me some splints to wear at night (as this was when I was suffering the most). They helped, so might be worth considering.

    Sa-ra-ra-ra I would speak to your doctor about the slapped cheek syndrome - they can refer you for a blood test to see if you have immunity to the virus. I don't think the midwife would be able to do much to be honest, and will probably refer you back to your GP. Fingers crossed that you are immune.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    So, back from doctors. Told not to drive, no aquanatal and chill out until I hear back from the doctor. She is checking up the best place to refer me for 24 hour ECG and then gonna call me back this afternoon. So basically, no work until at least Thursday! Ho hum.

    Actually Docs just called back. They want me back there at 3.30 to do a baseline ECG. Said it would be quicker that way than chasing up the one from hospital on Friday. Then they are referring me urgently to the hospital. I'm feeling special! :rotfl:
