Why didn't anyone tell me that pregnancy can cause carpal tunnel syndrome.....
I have been having issues with my forearms and my hands going painfully numb at night and the last couple of nights have been so bad it is causing me to loose sleep. I did some research online and then talked to a nurse at my doctor's office and sure enough I have carpal tunnel syndrome. Just when I think I get past one issue (be it nausia, insomnia, or getting GD under control) something else like this pops up.Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Bumps and Bruises
You brace yourself when your tot takes a tumble, but you never acknowledge the bumps and bruises that are inevitable as a parent. There are the ones you notice — when your wee one flips back her head as you look down and the bridge of your nose stings so badly your eyes fill — and, then there are the ones you are oblivious to like the toe marks on your stomach made by aspiring acrobats jumping across your midsection in such glee that you don't feel the painful indentations.

Yaya as a baby
As a new mommy, I gobbled up all the pregnancy magazines and books I could get my hands on. I eagerly listened to advice from everybody and took the classes offered at my local hospital.
