A pregnant in the 9th month feels a severe numbness in her right hand .. what should she do ?

Wrist Brace: This sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome which is a pinched nerve in the wrist. This typically resolves when you deliver. I would use wrist splints at night when you sleep to help take the pressure off the nerve.

Splint: Sleep with a wrist splint. If pain becomes unbearable and you cannot survive to term a cortisone shot could help.
