What Causes Cramp In Hands During Pregnancy?
Is it common to have hand cramps/contractures during pregnancy? What could be wrong? I am 22 weeks gestation with my first pregnancy. Healthy 27 year old, 140 lbs (current wt), 5'4". Everytime I shake someone's hand, open a drawer, wring out a cloth, etc, my hand cramps and I cannot open it for several seconds. Is this normal?
