Numbness

[Gemmy]

Just wondered if any of you girls have experienced numbness in your left hip. I have only been getting it since I fell pregnant and only at night if I lay on that side. I try to lay mainly on my right but just have to change over sometimes and invariably fall asleep and wake up with a burning sensation and then numbness that can last ages even in to the next day. I don't get pins and needles though. Its really weird!!!

Hi

I've not experienced this so would recommend ou ask your care giver about it whether that be doctor or midwife. Sounds like it could be baby sitting awkwardly or something.

I havent felt it either...hope it goes soon....

HI there, Are you still getting the numbness? I always used to sleep on my back and now i'm trying not to but whenever I sleep on a particular side left or right I seem to wake up with numbness in the top of my leg and hip. I wil probably mention it to my MW at my next appointment in a week but not sure to call before? Lindsey

yes i get it, no matter which side i sleep on, i wake up with numbness in that side. and sometimes pins and needles in the opposite hand/arm
i think its bad circulation but im gonna ask midwife at my next visit too

Hello

Yes I still get it but only in my left side - I wedge a pillow under my left side which seems to help but I'm going to ask the doc at my 16 week appointment. I did a search on here and there seems to be quite a few people who suffer from it but usually further on as the baby gets bigger and traps a nerve so I'm not overly worried but its so annoying to get comfortable! I'm not that big so god knows what it will be like when I am!

I went to the doc about this last week as it's been keeping me awake at night. I get the burning in my right hip and back ache.

I've been getting it since I was 12 weeks. I'm ok during the day but as soon as I sit down I stiffen up. He said it's the muscles and showed me some stretches to do.

I really need to go swimming more as this helps me.
