Early on at 18weeks I had my shoulders oddly going numb, now at 35 weeks not only do my feet thob/swell to enormous proportions, my right arm and hand go numb. I am a secretary for a law firm and randomly at work (very frequently now) It will do this tingling numb thing and I can't even hold my pen or type, I end up have to rub my hand back to normal...
Is this normal??
Re: Body parts going numb...
Do they go numb for no reason, or do you mean that they fall asleep when you lay on them and such? I know that my arms, legs and hips all "fall asleep" within a few minutes when I lay down. My OB told me that was normal.

Yes it is normal, but always bring these things up to your OB. Mine said that it is due to extra fluid. Keeping your feet up and staying hydrated can help but not prevent.

My lower back, butt and upper thighs get tingly and numb when I walk around too much. The OBGYN said it's just the baby pressing into my spine.
