New symptoms 3rd pregnancy

hi I am almost 39 yrs. old and 36 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child. For the past month or so I've such poor circulation in my hands. I hold my phone to my ear for a short convo and they tingle and go numb. I put my hand high on the steering wheel and same thing. Anyone else experience such quick numbness and tingling?

Yes. It's carpal tunnel syndrome. I had to stop driving because it was interfering with my ability to steer. I could have still driven, but I wanted to be safe. It will go away after baby is born. My Dr said it's from swollen nerves. My daughter is 3 weeks old and it's getting better, but slowly.
