A member asked:

Is it normal or is it caused by pregnancy for yoyr arms ans d feet to fall asleep?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No and possibly: It is not normal. Hand numbness could signify carpal tunnel syndrome which is a common complication of pregnancy and is related to fluid retention. Numbness in the feet is more unusual.
