Wierd Pregnancy Symptoms

[Guest guest]

Okay, I am 31 weeks pregnant and I have two things going on, and was

wondering if anyone knows what they are or can suggest remedies to

either of them.

 

1. My tounge hurts. In the morning there are strange white rings on

the tip of my tounge. I used to be able to brush them off with my

tooth brush, but now it seems that the skin under the rings is raised,

and the rings don't brush off as easily. This has been going on for

about 6 weeks now. I am thinking its possibly a bacterial infection,

because I remember doing a science experiment with bacteria and they

grew in ring shaped colonies like this, but I'm not sure. I have

tried rinsing my mouth out with peroxide, but it doesn't help for very

long. I brush with a sea salt based tooth paste.

 

2. My wrists hurt. Actually, my whole hands hurt, but my right wrist

is by far the worst. I recently read about pregnancy induced carpal

tunnel in my Pregnancy Week by Week book, and the description of it in

the book sounded a lot like the pain I am feeling in the joints in my

hand. I have flattened my keyboard at work, as the book suggested,

and I have tried icing my hands at night, in hopes of taking down the

swelling, but the pain in my wrist is getting worse and worse, and the

pain in my fingers is not getting any better. This has been going on

for two, maybe three weeks now.

 

I am making a doctors appointment for these problems tomorrow, just in

case its something really wrong, but I would sure appreciate any

insight you guys could give. Thanks!

Many women develop carpal tunnel during pregnancy, myself included. In some

instanses it dissappears after pregnancy or it can just become recurrent.

The tongue sounds like a case of thrush and you should be seen by your

physician.
