    hi Ladies

    Im 28wks pregnant and I suffer from partial left arm (2 last fingers) numbness and today my right foot and two toes joined this stage.
    is this normal? I can hardly walk by now.
    did anyone of you experienced that? what did you do?

    tomorrow I'm going to see GP but probably will hear take paracetamol or some other stuff..

    I'd call the hospital/midwife now to be honest.

    I don't want to freak you out!!
    But I think it's worth picking up the phone.

    its carpel (sp?) tunnel i used to get it with my first baby my right hand would go numb which was fun seeing as i'm a hairdresser!!:eek::eek: and my right leg would go asleep and it was so sore when it would start tingling when it was waking up again:D

    the baby sometimes lies on the nerves in the back but get it checked to be sure and if its sore take the painkiller ;)

    It certainly sounds like carpel tunnel to me. I had the same thing when I was pregnant, but only in my hands.

    whatever that is, GP said what I already knew... it is normal, if this will progress then come back with urine sample- will be loking for white cells or sugar in my blood...

    have you been having problems with moving around? I have severe pains in my pelvis, and sometimes it hurts like hell in my hips joints.

    Please no stating what medical condition you may think it is, it breaks the site rules.
