27 weeks here and randomly get numb and tingly legs that are so restless and SO uncomfortable. Nothing seems to help- I’ve tried walking, sitting, lying, sitting on the floor, sitting on my ball, legs up, legs down, rubbing them!! Anyone else experienced this? Any tips???

I have this, only thing that helps is going to sleep or sometimes having a bath Haha its horrible, i was thinking that maybe getting a foot spa would help ( amazon sell for £15/20 ) but im not sure if it would or not

Bouncing violently on the ball worked a bit for me but only sleep cured it fully.

Hi OP
I’ve had something similar for the past week, a sort of tingling numb feeling in my right thigh above the knee. I did a bit of research and found Something called Meralgia Paresthetica which apparently is quite common in pregnancy.
Also found a link to some stretches that worked wonders for me, hopefully they’ll work for you too - here’s the link (maybe check with your midwife first) www.healthline.com/health/fitness-exercise/meralgia-paresthetica-exercises#bridges
Good luck Smile
