Is my baby getting on my nerves?

(Literally )

Has anyone else had a strange numbness in their upper and lower leg muscles when walking?

It feels like I have run for too long and too far if that makes sense lol and it's causing problems when walking as I have found it makes me more likely to lose my balance (in front of about a million people at the train station for instance )

Before I was pregnant I walked quite a lot and have been trying to keep active but this is getting ridiculous! I'm 27 weeks and fit and healthy and not really getting out of breath when walking (yet) but my bump is still quite small, which my mum said might be because the baby is far back near my spine.

I was wondering if this numbess could be related to the baby sitting on nerves or something?

It could be to do with your growing uterus which will be putting pressure on your inferior vena cava which increases pressure on the leg veins.
