Hi! Each person can tolerate their symptoms differently. Some pregnant women develop carpal tunnel and other nerve compression syndromes during pregnancy due to the extra fluid. My doctors warned me that I might be susceptible given my history of TOS but I didn't have any added problems during pregnancy. I know several people who had nerve problems during pregnancies.

In my case, there is no way I could have dealt with a baby had the 1st TOS surgery not worked. My 1st child arrived 18 months post op. I was still recovering at this point as I had significant nerve damage and muscle atrophy so we planned everything carefully knowing I didn't have good reliable use of the hand/forearm yet. I did have a 2nd baby a few years later and it was much easier taking care of the 2nd one than the 1st one due to where I was at in recovery. I had surgery on the other side 16 months ago for arterial TOS. This side did not fail because of the 1st side but due to a separate injury and underlying pre-disposition to TOS.
