Numb thigh?

Hello all, I'm a FTM, 35yo and 12.5. In the last week I've noticed my left thigh being numb. Not all the time, but at random times. Sadly I have a reasonably sedentary desk job, so i don't get up as much as I should... ALSO this morning I got really sharp stabbing pain in my right nipple. OUCH. Anyone else get this, and are either of these normal?! I'm a bit embarrassed to ask but I can't find anything in either of my books and I try to steer clear of Dr. Google. Can't ask anyone else right now as have only told my parents! Smile

Left thigh numbness is probably meralgia paraesthetica - type of trapped nerve and very common in pregnancy. I've had it on and off for last few months (currently 27 weeks). I've also had brief stabbing pain in nipples, which I figured was due to increased sensitivity. Seems to be better with bras with some padding in the cups if that's any use.

Hello! I've had the numb thigh, mostly my right, bit on my left, since being about 15 weeks, it's a trapped nerve - if you do google it on google images you'll see diagrams of the area it affects, for me it was spot on. I'm now 33 weeks and it's still there, but i've just got used to it. There are so many other pregnancy niggles it pales really.

Stabby nipples - yup, get them from time to time, bit more in the second trimester, just the boobs changing to milk producers!

Yes both thighs - during both pregnancies!
