Answer 2

Possibly. I've read that carpel tunnel is a symptom of pregnancy but I'm not sure....

Answer 3

It is fairly common during pregnancy, although I'm not so sure if it's as common this early in your pregnancy.

Your body retains fluids more since you're growing a baby, and the carpal tunnel in your wrist can also retain these excess fluids. As a result, nerves in the carpal tunnel can get pinched or over crowded, and causes pain, numbness, and tingling. Anyway, it's basically carpal tunnel because you're pregnant.

Try wearing a brace when you can, especially when you're sleeping. I have one that I have to wear occasionally because of the same thing.

I know you'll hear this a lot too, but don't be afraid to ask your doctor, especially if it's getting too painful. Chances are they'll just tell you to wear a brace though.

Have fun, it only gets better in the next 8 months! :)

EDIT: I misunderstood I thought you were a month pregnant not in pain for a month! I don't think it's ever too early to start feeling the pregnancy misery... :) Mine started acting up worse right around 4 months, but the brace really helped a lot.

BTW Congrats on your baby!
