Anyone have this late in PG?

mwhite5283

I have severe edema (bed rest) and now have my right arm and hand numb (like always asleep) and the outside toes of both feet.  I understand that's from the swelling pressing on the nerves.

 BUT - now my stomach is numb - like if i scratch it, i don't totally feel it. ANyone else have this as normal late in PG? Maybe the skin is so stretched I don't have as many nerves near the surface? Just checking before I bug my doctor AGAIN.

TIA.

AND Happy Friday!

No, I have not experienced this.  I'd be bugging my doc.  Good luck!

How much does it itch?

My tummy went a bit numb as well.  My OB said it was the stretching and pitting edema on my lower abdomen (who knew it went up that high?), but call yours to check.

Below my belly button I definitely have less sensation - not totally numb though. I just figured it was because the skin was stretched so much.?

But with your other concerns, it might be worth checking out.?

My belly has been a little numb for the last week or so. ?I asked my OB about it at our appt this week and she said it doesn't happen to everyone but it's totally normal. ?Something about your skin stretching faster than your nerves can. ?Supposedly, the nerves should catch up after a while.

Strange though. ?Very strange.?

always bug your doctor

But, totally normal

Oh goodness Michele!  I hope you're doing ok.  I'd keep bugging your doctor, that's what they're there for.  You're in the home stretch though.  Almost... there...!
