Do you bend your wrists when you're sleeping? You could try keeping your hands flat under a pillow or investing in wrist braces.

I hear carpel tunnel (spelling?) is really common during pregnancy.  I suffer from it (non pregnancy related) and wear a stretchy wrap around brace I bought at Walgreens (they range from $8-$30 I think). The brace certainly doesn't cure the issue completely,  but stabilizing the wrist helps take care of a lot of the pain. I hope this helps!!
