Hi, pls do not be scared. What you are experiencing is one of the pregnancy symptoms known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Your 4 fingers (except the last one) will feel numb & at times your wrist may feel some tension, especially your dorminant hand. Thus, do not let your hands & fingers do too much work that require exertion of strength. You will most likely recover 3-4 weeks after pregnancy, so pls do not get worried. For the time being, you may like to wear a wrist band and try not to lie on your hands while sleeping too. Placing your hands straight & elevated may also help. You may like to get your hubby to massage your palms and fingers daily. These should make you feel better. For now, enjoy your pregnancy and do not get worried ya. Take care!

Same thing happend to me. My best guess (and what I found out I had) is carpol tunel syndrome. Pregnancy can sometimes cause it, amoungst numberous other things. Take some advil (if you're not breastfeeding) because it's an anti inflammatory and pain reliever, and try not to type too much over the next few days. If it's still not better, I'd go to the doctor.

I would ask a doctor about that.
