Carpal tunnel: I'd see a good hand surgeon. You probably have pressure on a nerve at your wrist - carpal tunnel.

Carpal tunnel: Pregnancy causes excess fluid in the body and can cause compression of the median nerve at the wrist, know as carpal tunnel syndrome (cts). As the excess fluid in the body is excreted, the pressure in the median nerve decreases. The carpal tunnel symptoms of numbness, tingling and pain, usually improve. Try braces on your wrists and see a board certified hand surgeon for evaluation and treatment.
