Could be Raynaud's syndrome as well. Tmi but I get a burning sensation in my nipples and they turn white, only when I'm pregnant and it's painful. So I did a bit of research and found this little gem which can be brought on and aggravated by pregnancy and can affect more than just your nipples but all of your extremities. Might be worth a look.

It's carpal tunnel and very common I  pregnancy. During my pregnancy with my daughter it was awful. Go to your doctor and they should be able to set you up with some good hand and wrist braces to wear at night. I still say that was the worst pregnancy symptom I ever had.
