no impact: Your carpel tunnel syndrome by itself should have little impact on your baby. If you take medications for it, however, they may have impact and you should clear your med list with your OB first.

Kenalog (triamcinolone) inj / splint: The treatment will not affect your baby.At 36 weeks pregnancy, you only have another 4 weeks to go ; the carpal tunnel symptoms can be best addressed conservatively by using splints and/or kenalog (triamcinolone) injection.After delivery, the symptoms will usually resolve as the excess water weight decreases.Only a small precentage of women need to have their pregnancy induced carpal tunnel addressed surgically.
