Numb hands *carpal tunnel*

Took us four long years to conceive baby #1 (Abigail Hailey-Jade due Nov 30th). And I've heard horror stories about pregnancy from friends and family. I don't think it's as bad as everyone told me it would be (knock on wood). I've only had morning sickness a few times, no strange cravings, etc... but I do have numb hands and swollen feet. The swollen feet don't bother me to bad. The numbness worries me as the doctors are not sure when it will go away. Anyone else have or had this issue while pregnant? And maybe ways to help them so it's not so annoying.. I hope it goes awAy before or right after she is born. I would like to be able to hold her.
