  I had this last time it sounds like pregnancy carpal tunnel. Mine went away about 10 weeks PP.

  I've had it happen, just assumed that I'd slept on my hand. I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring for months.

  I had that, I assumed it was a combination of sleeping on it and the swelling. It didn't start to happen until about 35 weeks, and I'm 5 weeks PP now...it still happens occassionally.

  I had the same thing with my first pregnancy, it's carpal tunnel, mine went away shortly after having dd. If it gets really bad u can get wrist braces, those seemed to help

  Mine also seems to fall asleep when I wake up on my back. I have to take my wedding rings off before I go to bed or I'll wake up MOTN with circulation cut off in my ring finger. Its fine within an hour of getting up. I'd try putting a pillow behind your back to keep from rolling onto it to see if that takes care of it. May just be too much pressure on the vein in your back.
