numb bump?

[BusyMissIzzy]

I'm 33 weeks, and my bump often feels strangely numb, especially at the top. Is this normal?
(P.S. I have a feeling I saw this same question on here a while back, but searching brings up hundreds of posts, so thought I'd just ask again..)

I used to get this and the MW told me it was internal kicking causing bruising....I replied on the other thread too, but can't for the life of me remember how it was titled!

Thanks PanicMode. That would make sense as this LO has been head down for a while now, and does enjoy stretching her little legs in my ribs and upper abdomen!

how strange, just reading this, and just realised my top bump is numb too! lol

ooh i got this with all 3 of my babies
now my tummy is really just numb all the time.
dp didn't believe me until i made him pinch me really hard and i couldn't feel it!

I got a numb area all round my belly button. It was odd, numb to the touch, but also over-sensitive to material touching it. It persisted for about 10 weeks after birth too.

I had exactly the same, Lionstar - happened with dd, but not with ds.

I had this - I think my skin was so stretched that the nerves went 'on strike'

Mine was with DS not DD, he was a lot bigger though. I just added it to the very long list of 'Reasons I'm NEVER EVER getting pregnant again'

dd was huge, ds big, but not as big as her, and she'd already stretched me before he came along...

I think its because the skin and nerves are so stretched there are fewer nerve endings to go around so you have numb areas IYSWIM.
