pins and needles & pain at top of uterus

Anyone know what I can do to relieve this? I've got a bicornuate uterus and know that the shape of my uterus is causing this so there's nothing I can do stop it but anyone know if there is anything which can help? It is particulary bad at night and basically annoying. Poor baby is trying to grow and can't! I'm 31 weeks, and seeing consultant at 34 to discuss the birth as it's highly likely I'll be early.

Any ideas greatly appreciated

Is the pins and needles in your uterus, or elsewhere? I'm afraid I don't know anything about a bicornuate uterus, but I do wish you all the best.

My question is about pins and needles, as I seem to be getting them really easily in my hands and feet - I only have to sit with my legs crossed for a short while and I've lost all feeling, which isn't normal for me. Anyone else finding this, and is it normal during pregnancy?

pins and needles just in top of uterus. They are permantly there but worse when I am lying on left hand side (as get them in left side/centre) trying to sleep - I have to get up an walk about in the middle of the night as so bad. mentioned to midwife and they said it was due to odd shape of uterus but offered no solution - I was thinking of putting an ice cube to numb the pain??? still got it now and I'm sitting up!

I get pins and needles type thing on the left hand side just below my ribs, but it only seems to be when I'm driving. As far as I'm aware my uterus is a 'normal' shape-was the bicornuate bit picked up at your scan?

I've known about the bi-cornuate uterus for years - this was picked up at scan years ago, so luckily wasn't a suprise but has been a concern throughout pregnncy. My mum has one too and I was a tiny baby (1 lb and born at 30 weeks). So I'm playing a waiting game as baby's got less room to grow in uterus and will be small one but I've reached 31 weeks and the baby so far weighs more than I did at 30 weeks which is a miracle! I'm hoping to hang on in there for a bit while longer. Consultant happy with me for the time being, but I'm happy with the pins n needles!
