Pins & Needles/Numb Feet

[KirstyL]

Hey ladies
I'm sure I should know the answer to this myself (lol)
At work (desk job) I tend to change positions every 2 minutes, well it seems that ways, and each time I cross my legs, or even just my ankles, I get a numb foot?! Bit like pins & needles but not as intense – is it something to do with circulation?

Also get it at home if I’m sitting on the sofa, sometimes sit with one leg curled under the other one, if I’m watching TV. It doesn’t hurt, it’s just odd J

I've been getting this - random pins and needles in my feet, and also random cold patches on my legs, like one half of my shin will be ice cold and the rest of my leg and other leg fine. I mentioned it to my midwife and she just looked a bit puzzled and mumbled something about circulation, not much help really!

I had it at the very top of my thighs from early on till just after 12 weeks. Think it was baby lying on a nerve for me. X

Mine is at the top, had it quite a while too so maybe thats why i have been getting it xxx

Oh I know, add it to the bad back, numb body parts, exhaustion from sheer lack of sleep, weight gain, etc, it's all marvelous!! I swear I didn't have any of this with my daughter!! Difference between boys and girls maybe, lol.

I'm so glad someone else has posted this!! I have had pins and needles in my foot/ankle since last Thursday, part of my foot is really numb too, I've been paranoid that I have a blood clot! Quite a relief to hear others have been getting it, all being well it's normal and related to pregnancy. I am a bugger for sitting with my legs crossed or curled underneath me so making a consious effort not to do this x x
