Doubt pregnancy: Could be carpel tunnel. That usually has a repitive motion history. Numbness usually. Means a nerve that has pressure on it. Different nerves got to various parts of the hand. Pressure at the elbow or wrist can caused hand numbness. I have not seen that associated. With pregnancy.

Get a urine test: Carpal tunnel syndrome does not occur in early pregnancy. It occurs later on when women get swelling.
