Has anyone lost feeling in their leg?

I have had one portion of my thigh lose feeling today a couple of times. No pins and needles, but numbness. My legs have been pretty uncomfortable from swelling and hurt to walk/stand on for a while. It helps if I get off my feet. Had anyone had this happen?

Are you still pregnant? I am mobile so cant see sigs. I had one quad that would predictably go numb if I was on my feet too long in third tri. Not sure if it was her positioning or related to the sacro illiac issues I had, but doc wasnt concerned.

Mine did throughout the entire pregnancy. I was told by my grandfather (retired obgyn) the uterus usually tilts to one side & can cause it.

Common. Babies get positioned funny and compress nerves. The tops of both of my thighs would go tingly or numb when I stood up for long periods of time with DS. With this one it was only the right. It would always go away immediately after I changed position.

@Junebug060609‌ yes, still pregnant. Hoping to have him very soon!
That makes me feel better to hear that you had something similar. I had a little extra energy so I was making an effort to make dinner. I was exhausted with a numb thigh. Didn't go so well!

@Dplusbsquared‌ thank you. So good to hear especially from a retired Ob/gyn.
