Is it normal to feel tingling in the hands and feet a few days after natural childbirth?

30-year-old womana year ago

I gave birth on January 6, natural delivery without epidural. I don't know if it's fatigue but since then I have had little tingling in my feet and hands. Is this normal?

Hello Mrs., congratulations!

Tingling and paresthesias can occur after childbirth. It can take several days to months to resolve. Having said that, since you have recently had this procedure, I must suggest that you call the postpartum unit for information and if necessary, a thorough evaluation of your needs.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
