Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Britney
Is anyone suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome in their 2nd tri?!!! I am and it's so freaking annoying during the night while I'm sleeping! I noticed it around 18 weeks pregnant (now I'm 23 wks). I asked my Midwife about it and she said it's totally normal in the 2nd & 3rd trimesters and in future pregnancies. She also said to get hand splint and wear it daily and at night and do stretching...Can't wear the hand splint at work because I'm in the dental field so the gloves wouldn't fit correctly. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there is suffering from this too??!!
