During pregnancy, women often experience discomfort such as lower back pain, lower limb edema, and numbness. Moreover, some pregnant women may feel numbness in their hands, which makes them more worried and afraid that it may be caused by their own illness. So, why is the left hand numb during pregnancy?
If the left hand becomes numb during pregnancy, it may be compressed while sleeping, which is the most common reason. Moreover, when the arms and hands of pregnant women remain in the same position for a long time, it can also cause numbness in the hands. After a few days of rest, the numbness can usually be relieved.
Pregnant women are very prone to calcium deficiency, which can also cause symptoms of numbness in the hands. Pregnant women are prone to calcium deficiency due to the need to provide calcium for the fetus, and it is difficult to obtain sufficient calcium through daily diet. Pregnant women need to eat more high calcium foods, such as shrimp skin, eggs, etc. If necessary, they also need to take some calcium supplements to meet their body's needs.
In the late stages of pregnancy, the condition of uterine enlargement becomes increasingly severe, which compresses the abdominal organs and increases the amount of blood needed by the uterus. At this time, pregnant women may have insufficient blood, and the limbs such as hands and feet are prone to numbness due to ischemia. Pregnant women don't need to worry too much, they can return to normal after giving birth to the baby.
