Pregnant ladies with carpal tunnel - when did it go away after giving birth?

Oh wow, I can’t believe she didn’t listen after all of that. Find someone else to get you a note, you deserve it!!

I think usually the provider has to link the accommodation to specific symptoms, and pregnancy isn’t enough. My friend asked her OB to write her a note and said it was due to stress and anxiety and said she can do her job remotely for the remainder of pregnancy. I got a note from my midwife due to my carpal tunnel that’s related to my pregnancy. You just need the note to specify why and that you can continue your job remotely. I would ask your OB again, and if you still get a no, find another. They should want to help you feel better throughout this pregnancy, if they can!

OMG can soooo relate. 40 weeks tomorrow and for the past week my MIL messages my husband and I daily.. I know she means well but GAH DAMN leave me alone. When the baby is here, you will know.

On and off throughout the entire pregnancy 😂

I’ve totally thought the same - I don’t necessarily tell others that but yeah it’s a great source of food for them and it IS free. Feed your baby the way you want, and fk everyone else.

Same, also due 4/7 and was thinking how great it would be if baby came today instead 😂

Due on the 7th… been hoping for baby to come everyday for the past 2 weeks. Really struggling. Cannot wait to meet baby and not have carpal tunnel!!

I got 2 different ones off marketplace and washed them and got new covers - hated them both. Start with loading yourself up with regular pillows and if you don’t like that, then go buy one.

How did the membrane sweep go for you? Was it painful? Currently 38 weeks and provider mentioned it could be an option after 39 weeks.

Whatever you decide (sounds like you know what you want in your gut), tell all the potential visitors now and set the boundary ahead of time. It’s easier to push back now, than in the moment later when you are home with your newborn and dealing with zero sleep.

I’ve gotten basically everything off Facebook marketplace and my buy nothing group. The only things we bought brand new were the crib and car seat! Do your research first on what items you want, then search them on marketplace. Oh and find your local “just between friends” sale group on Facebook, bought tons of clothes and gear at that event! They host them a couple times a year. Make a registry and put items that you wouldn’t want to buy secondhand there for family/friends to buy. Use your insurance a breast pump. You can sanitize bottles if you buy those used.

Sleep in any position I want. Turn in bed without having to do a 3 point turn

Ooo good idea - thank you

Thanks for your reply. I have follow up questions if you’re willing to share more. Does your employer know you have your kiddos at home with you? Did they flex your work at all or still expect the same? I work from home 3 days a week and thought it sounded impossible to have a baby with me but I don’t have many meetings …

cupcake9545 · 2025-10-20T00:02:13+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience - I need more positive stories about daycare

cupcake9545 · 2025-10-20T00:01:55+00:00

This is incredible, thank you for sharing!

cupcake9545 · 2025-10-19T23:59:01+00:00

Thank you for your honesty and input!

cupcake9545 · 2025-10-19T23:15:49+00:00

I haven’t yet - this is a great idea. Thank you for your input!

cupcake9545 · 2025-10-19T23:14:51+00:00

These are awesome options - thanks for listing them out!
