Carpal tunnel during pregnancy

So I’m 18 weeks pregnant and my hand hurt so bad in the morning when I wake up my hands tingles and it’s always when I lay down at night . I google it and it says during pregnancy it can be common to get carpal tunnel I have an appointment next week with my obgyn so I’ll mention it to them but no one in my family believes me they said it’s all in my head . I’m seriously not making this up anyone had it during pregnancy??
