That could be Carpel Tunnel Syndrome hun. I had it mild in the 3rd tri with Charlie. Mention it to your midwife as they can give you wrist straps to wear in bed which can help ease it.

hi amanda u were right when i went to see midwife she confirmed carpal tunnel but just said its common in pregnancy and i have to do hand exercises but it should disappear when baby comes

Don't expect an instant recovery after the birth hun, I don't want you to be disappointed. My pins and needles went straight away, but it took a good couple of months for the strength to come back. And I struggled with little poppers on Charlie's clothes for ages. Just a warning hun...
