A member asked:
I am 35 weeks pregnant and for a few hours i have felt like i am getting poor circulation to my arm. my hands are swollen as well.

Edema: The swelling is why you are feeling poor circulation in your arm. In the last trimester of pregnancy, this is not uncommon. Lie on your left side, this will help increase your general circulation. Consult with your OB.
