Numb Area on Stomach

Hi
I am 37 weeks pregnant and over the last few days have developed a numb area at the top of my stomach just under my rib cage. It is an area about two inches or so in diameter. It feels as though I have to itch the area at time but no amount of itching will relieve it. just waned to check if anyone else had experienced this and if it went away.

Thanks

I had exactly this in my last pregnancy - I have a different neurological condition so mentioned it to my neuro last week. He showed me that that it is a trapped nerve that happens as the ribs flare latter in the pregnancy. I don't think you need to worry about it. Mine hasn't fully come back though!
