What Causes Arms To Fall Asleep During Pregnancy?
I am 28 weeks pregnant and my right arm falls asleep in the middle of the night, and sometimes while I use my cell phone, and hold it to my ear, after a while it feels tingly. This problem wakes me up at night and I can't get enough sleep to function.

Hello ma'am and welcome.
This can happen at times due to the increase in weight but is more commonly seen due to a vitamin deficiency (B12) and so I would recommend a visit to your doctor as the nutrient requirement by your body increases during pregnancy which is why you might require nutritional supplements.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
