It is a sign of carpal tunnel - as the other girls have said. Mine have gotten worse as the pregnancy progressed. I had to leave worked early as I couldn't write or type for long periods. Now the only typing I can do is on BellyBelly.

I drove to the other side of Melbourne last week and after that I decided no more driving, my hands were so sore.

My ob has told me there is nothing that I can do and that it will go away a few weeks after baby arrives.

I just hope it doesn't get any worse for you!
