strange cramping in hand...help appreciated

[ph1207]

I'm 28 weeks along and just these past couple days I've been experiencing a strange cramping in my left hand. I feel a tingling down past my wrist also  but my concern is when I make a fist or grab something, my hand cramps in the closed position and I have a a bit of a hard time opening it back up. It's not very difficult to open my hand back up but takes a bit more effort than just naturally. Anyone else get cramping in their hand when grasping something?

I don't typically work with my hands a lot but recently just finished painting my nursery. Spent about week with all the taping,painting,touch ups etc. Maybe that brought it on?
I hope it's not carpal tunnel...I see my doc tomorrow so I'll definitely bring it up.

Do you work with your hands a lot?

Yes you can get carpal tunnel while pregnant and they say it goes away after ward. They recommend wearing a wrist splint at night.  I have tingling and some numbness

Maybe carpal tunnel
