Numbness in leg

[didslysquiddlydoo]

Hi all,

I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant and am experiencing constant pins and needles / numbness type sensation down one side only - it's generally one big area on my outer thigh, which sometimes gets worse (but never gets better!)..

I have had this for about 4 or 5 weeks now and initially thought it was due to how baby was laying, but the fact that it never subsides makes me think maybe it's not so much down to that after all?

Anyone else experienced anything like this?

@didslysquiddlydoo yea, I'm 26 + 2 and have been similar, though it's not constant. I do get a numb patch on the outside of one thigh, quite high up, it tends to happen more after I've been active then sat down.

I've put it down to changing belly / pelvis pinching a nerve.

Meralgia Paresthetica.... I was left with it after 1st baby 🙄

@didslysquiddlydoo hello, I have the same and google came up with the same answer as @Avearage

I’m 20+2 and still have it, I spoke to the midwife at my 16wk telephone appointment but she had no idea, so planning to mention it at my scan next week. Sorry not to have a solution for you!
