Falling Asleep Limbs

in Pregnant after a Loss

The past couple day anytime I sit down, my legs go numb and tingly and I get shooting pains in my butt and leg. When I lay down my left arm does the same thing as well as both legs.  What the heck!! 

How do I make this better and does anyone else have this? TIA

    It can be a typical symptom.  When I lay on my side, whichever arm is on the bottom falls asleep right away.  Sometimes I wake up or go to turn off my alarm and literally can't move it for a minute,

    I've noticed this a few times as well...it happened to me the last time I went out to eat and was sitting for a while.  I also get it when I lay on one side for too long.  I don't really know what the deal is...maybe just the increased blood volume or something?  I just have to massage my hips and legs and walk a little when it happens.  I looked ridiculous hopping around in the restaurant stomping my leg trying to get it to wake up!

    It could be your sciatic or a pinched nerve.  A chiropractor can help adjust the area and after a few visits, you should see improvement.

    This happens to me, too. Sometimes I will just be laying flat on my back in bed, and both my feet will start tingling. I just twist around, or wiggle my legs, and they come back. But at night, I definitely wake up to a left or right arm numb (depending on which side I'm on), and I quickly switch. 

    Seems like it's typical. :)

    Funny you should mention this...last weekend DH and I drove to KY to visit my family. I had a short catnap in the car on the way and woke up with tingly arms. So strange what these babies do to our bodies!

    Thanks! Yeah it is amazing the changes that a baby can make even when it is so small!!! The strangest part is that its the arm that I am NOT sleeping on that falls asleep haha. Makes no sense!

    This for the shooting pain in your butt and down your legs.  

    As far as the limbs falling asleep, I don't think there is much you can do about it.  I've actually had times where I will be laying on my left side and my right arm (the one I'm not laying on) falls asleep!
