Funny feeling

[nicoleginge]

I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant and every time I let down in bed I get this funny feeling in the top of my left thigh on the outside of my leg.

Should I worry or is it ok?

Just want to add it's like it's pins and needles

Hi! I’ve had this in all three of my pregnancies... I went to the doctor in my first pregnancy with it as I could only describe it as like pins and needles/ ice cold feeling running under the skin (really hard to describe) but it felt like it was coming from my veins. The doctor said it was vascular, as in my veins were working harder with the excess blood flow and the valves weren’t just doing as well as they normally do. He wasn’t at all concerned. I mentioned it to the midwife who also wasn’t that bothered.

It concerned me a lot first time round - but I felt it exactly the same sensations each pregnancy so I figure my veins must just struggle a bit. If you are at all concerned do get it checked just for reassurance tho xx
