Likely: Because of the pregnancy there is increased blood volume and fluid retention. This tends to put increased pressure on the nerves, particularly where they have to cross joints. Sleeping position can further aggravate this and cause the symptoms you describe.

Nerve compression: Talk to your Ob/Gyn about evaluation for carpal tunnel syndrome. Common cause of shoulder pain and numbness referred from compression of the nerve at the wrist. Caused by swelling around the tunnel that compresses the nerve. Occurs frequently in pregnancy. Consider massage, stretching, moist heat to neck and shoulders.
