pregnancy induced carpal tunnel

le
so I started to feel numbness on my right fingertips and when I had brought it up to my Dr she said its carpal tunnel from the pregnancy. it has gotten worse as my whole palm is now numb and I can't close my hand without being in pain. this has been going on for a good month now and I'm also noticing that my joints on my hands ache. is this normal? anyone else experience this?
