Carpal tunnel in pregnancy

Any remedies for carpal tunnel whilst pregnant? Just went to the chemist and they recommended pain away...seems expensive for something natural. Don't see my obstetrician until January. Thanks

I had splints fitted that I had to wear at night, also fysio helped a lot!!

Thanks ladies. I've booked in for acupuncture tomorrow...I'm really hoping to get some relief before Christmas. It's much worse this pregnancy than it was with my first. It's waking me at night and it's difficult to drive and lift my 13 month old. I'm only 16 weeks along so I'm dreading how long I have to put up with this.

Pain away is great might be a little expensive but so worth it
