Pregnancy: You seem to be anxious. Please get your BP and sugar and lipids checked.

Baby not affected: It is common to get those symptoms in pregnancy because every thing is changing including sleeping positions and tissue swelling crowding tight spots where nerves pass (like the shoulder, elbow and wrist). This is a bother to you, but not your baby who is floating freely in the nice little world you have provided. No worries.
