Numb skin in abdominal area?

1blueridgemama · August 2014

So, I don't *think* I remember this from previous pregnancies but it's been a while.

My belly as it's gotten so big, has gotten numb. I can't feel the skin. I'm guessing from growing so quickly but it's weird feeling. Anyone else? I'm 28.4 btw. I had a previous CS but that's MUCH lower and that area has always been numb since the surgery.

Im still pretty early yet, but I get numb in my legs, just the outside. Doc said its like sciatica. But that would not explain abd.... hmmm.

I'm not numb exactly but as the day wears on my belly still feels tighter like it did from bloating in earlier months. Especially when that happens I do notice that I tend to bump into things (like DH) and not even feel it or realize I've done it unless someone says something.

It's not sciatica or anything like that, no pain. Just completely numb. When I touch it, I can feel the sensation of pressure underneath the skin but not the skin itself.

And I bump into things all the time, too. Crazy.

I am 27w3d with triplets and have had that since about 20w. MFM Dr said it is completely normal. She said it's from the skin having to stretch much faster.

I'm almost 31 weeks and my stomach feels the same way. I first noticed it several weeks ago.

I am 29w and I have the same thing. Completely numb all around my belly button! I hear it's normal too.
