Fingers locking…carpal tunnel?

I’m almost 32 weeks pregnant and in the last week or two I’ve noticed that if I am carrying something heavy my fingers kind of lock and I get a painful cramping sensation in them and it’s like they’ve locked into a weird position. Doesn’t last long, as soon as I put the object down or change position (bend/straighten them) they go back to normal.
Sometimes my hands and fingers can feel hot and tingly. Does this sound like carpal tunnel?

I’ve had same sensation in my feet and groin too which I did put down to pregnancy.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I’ve never really suffered with cramp prior to this (second pg, didn’t have this in my first) so I’m frantically googling and not liking the results 😫

Could just be the relaxin...

I had de quervain's towards end of first pregnancy brought on by hormones, but thankfully it disappeared almost immediately after giving birth, so no need for any treatment. I wouldn't worry unless it's affecting you after birth.
