Calling nurse - Please evaluate my stupid question before I do

hero

I feel pretty dumb asking this but Google was unable answer my question. I am only concerned because this isn't the first time this has happened.

I woke up last night feeling like my undies had cut off circulation to my midsection. After I removed them, I felt the blood flow back but the area across my abdomin felt really strange for 20 mins. It didn't hurt but it didn't feel very good either. I was sleeping on my right side though other nights that this has happened I have woken up on my back or left side.

Has this happened to anyone else or should I call the nurse (she's not very nice)?

Maybe buy some larger undies?

 My thought exactly!

Lol - I usually sleep in the nude. It's happened on those nights also.

Sleep naked! Much more comfy.

I agree everything right now for me is cutting off circulation. I would try larger underwear before I call.

Extra blood=more prone to circulation being cut off, ie. hand/arm/leg/'gina falling asleep.  I'm not sure why, but half of my groin area falls asleep 2-3 times a week at the office.  It is an odd feeling.

But for sure check with the nurse, in case it is something serious.

do you use a body pillow? if not, try using one, maybe it has to do with the position of your legs. seems farfetched, but you never know.

Thank you for your responses. I did call the nurse. She said at this point there really isn't nothing to be alarmed about but to let them know if it keeps occurring.
