Pressure exerted in the median nerve. This nerve passes through a narrow channel that is formed by carpal bones. This narrow channel is also made as a passageway for many tendons and ligaments that connect the wrist to the hand. The pressure that causes the arm numbing leads to the onset of 수근관 증후군 (carpal tunnel syndrome). That is why this condition is closely associated with arm numbness in pregnant women. For pregnant patients, the thing that causes the pressure in the median nerve is the swelling and retention of fluid in all parts of the body.

A dull aching feeling can also be experienced by pregnant women in the arms, the wrists, and the fingers. Severe weakness in both the arms is also seen but not often.
