(13 Posts)
Got v bad cramp in bed last night and went but left with persistent pain in calf of right leg. Now got tingly and numb right hand. I am 26wks pg wth dc no 2. Just wondered if anyone experienced something like this and what it could be.

Due to see next week, so will discuss.

Thanks
I think that given your clotting issues, you should get this checked out, just incase it is connected.

I'm sure it's probably as a result of the cramps, but better safe than sorry and MWs are only too happy to rule things out!

I was watching a programme the other day and they said numbness in hands and arms is due to fluid building up. It will go after birth.

Hey there

I think it'd be worth you getting it checked out by your GP on Monday.

I also have factor v leiden. It was discovered aft I had a minor pulmonary embolism at 28 wks, the clot started a wk or so earlier after I'd had a severe leg cramp overnight and it hurt quite badly for several days after.

Not to worry you though it's probably just plain old cramp and having a baby on board can do allsorts to your nerves making them tingle here and there.
If it is a clotting issue they'll probably just step up your meds and monitor you.

No cramp last night, but persistent ache still lingering.

Have factor v leiden which is blood clotting thing. take two fragmin injections today, so DVT tends to linger at back of mind.
Am 38+5 and my hands tingle and go numb a lot - especially my right hand and when I'm laying down. If you bring your feet up towards your bum (so you're in a kind of kneeling position laying down, if you get me) it eases it. I've been told its nothing to worry about and is either CT or just excess fluid. Hope it eases off soon
