3rd Trimester

bum leg

Well, the wierdest thing happened to my body yesterday. I can't seem to stand on my leg. I offered to help with the halloween party( big mistake) and ended up standing for about 12 hours. When I got home, I couldn't even put my weight on it. Now I'm just kind of dragging it behind me like some sort of pregnant zombie.

Pregnancy is an evil thing.

  • I've had a similar thing happen to me a couple of times, only it went away after a few minutes and it happens when I'm walking.  All of a sudden my right leg will just go dead - it doesn't hurt but it almost feels like pins and needles and it's uncomfortable...plus I can't really walk.  My midwife said it was from the baby or my uterus pressing on a nerve.  Using a yoga ball to do hip rotations or getting on all fours can help relieve the pressure and get the feeling back.

  • This sounds like the "joy" of sciatica - when something puts pressure on the sciatic nerve.  I'm sure if you google, you can find some ways to get relief.  A nice long massage always does the trick for me.
