Carpal Tunnel

I read that a lot of women develop carpal tunnel like symptoms in their third trimester ... am I the only one experiencing these? One wrist/hand is worse than the other but both are very uncomfortable and sore. Just wondering if I'm alone in this or if others are experiencing this too.

I Have a tensor bandage on the worst wrist at the moment and it seems to be helping. It's brutally painful in the middle of the night. I didn't realize this was even a thing. I figured I'd get carpal tunnel one day but not during pregnancy

I got it with my first pregnancy (hoping it doesn't return with this one)  but I found it helped if I wore wrists braces pretty tight especially at night

When I posted this in the middle of the night the pain woke me up from sleeping. I couldn't even open my hand fully.

I had it and it was the worst feeling ever. It does get worse before it gets better. Mine went away soon after delivery.
