Hello, Blessing. This is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, it's common in pregnancy. It is due to increased fluid retention (oedema) during pregnancy. This compresses the nerves causing tingling and numbness. Your grip may also be weaker. You can use ice compress, splints, wrist exercises and massage. Avoid medications, doesn't help because this is a compression problem. Cheers

I also experienced it in pregnancy. No medication given, its due to fluid retention. U just have to bear it, it will disappear after delivery.
