Brief Answer:
Symptoms are suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted the symptoms of your wife. They are suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), where a nerve called median nerve gets slightly pinched at the level of wrist.

This condition is more common during pregnancy.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
