Carpal tunnel or just swelling in hand

Mikayla

I’m 36 + 6 FTM and for a week and half now I’ve have had swelling and numbness in my dominant hand (left) I am to the point where I have appts weekly and I let my OB know last week she said it’s common to get carpal tunnel during pregnancy because of the volume of blood we have in our body. She recommended icing and splinting and Ofcourse trying to move it around but today it started hurting so bad and honestly it’s annoying my finger tips being numb. attempting to do baby shower thank you cards and I can’t it hurts too much. Blood pressure has been amazing my feet do swell as well. Looking for anyone who’s had similar problems and can give me advise on what worked for them because 3 more weeks of this may drive me insane
