First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy! Don't worry about about complicating the pregnancy just yet, there are a lot of easy things that might help.

It sounds like you have either a neuroma, which is inflammation of the nerve between the base of the toes or getting compression on the nerve that goes to the toes. If it is a neuroma, wearing flatter shoes can help and also having a spacing pad placed in the appropriate spot on the bottom of the foot. A podiatric physician is the best person to make the diagnosis.

The podiatrist will also rule out tarsal tunnel syndrome, which is like carpel tunnel syndrome, that can cause pressure on the nerve that goes to the bottom of the entire foot including the toes. Often arch supports can get rid of the symptoms.

It also sounds like you may have Raynaud's Disease which causes cold fingers and toes and this, too may be causing the nerve symptoms you are having. Be sure to mention the history of cold fingers and toes when you see the podiatrist.
