I have to rest at an angle on that side -- either more onto my front or more onto my back. Exercising helps -- gives me more of a muscle cushion between the nerves and the bones. It started midway through with my first and super early with this pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-legs-go-numb-at-night#post-2140375 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 21:27:05 +0000 babynumber1 2140375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could it be restless leg? If so try a Magnseium Citrate supplement, that helped me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-legs-go-numb-at-night#post-2140094 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 16:02:24 +0000 Mrs.Waffles 2140094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi, I had something similar, mine was mainly on my left leg. Putting a pillow between my legs would help. I also bought a memory foam mattress pad. But mainly what help was my water intake. I had to drinks lots of water if I didn't, I would start to have all sorts of issues. I literally had to track the amount I drank to make sure I was getting enough. I would still talk to your OB, she might be able to recommend some stretches, mine did. I would share them, but have forgotten them already. Hope you feel better soon. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-legs-go-numb-at-night#post-2139668 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 10:19:00 +0000 mrscobee 2139668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Ugh, decided to call my doc, and nurse said it sounds like I am doing everything I can. I don't know if there is a solution, and it might just be something I have to truck through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-legs-go-numb-at-night#post-2139667 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 10:18:47 +0000 macintosh 2139667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a mild version of that - numbness would radiate down from my hips to my legs. Are you placing a pillow between your knees? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-legs-go-numb-at-night#post-2139648 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 10:04:07 +0000 mrscobee 2139648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Yes, I plan to. Trying to decide whether to wait until next appointment or call... It is sooooooo uncomfortable, and every day I get more miserable without sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-legs-go-numb-at-night#post-2139643 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 09:50:12 +0000 Mae 2139643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrscobee: maybe ask your doc? I wonder if you pinched a nerve somewhere or something, that sounds so uncomfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-legs-go-numb-at-night#post-2139641 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 09:47:25 +0000 mrscobee 2139641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: No, unfortunately I am laying on my side (try to lay on my left side most the time), so I am not sure what else I can do there... I have a pregnancy pillow too, but it isn't helping... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-legs-go-numb-at-night#post-2139624 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 09:38:18 +0000 Mae 2139624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you laying on your back when it happens? The weight of your uterus can compress some nerves and make this happen if you're on your back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-legs-go-numb-at-night#post-2139611 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 09:32:44 +0000 mrscobee 2139611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>19 weeks pregnant and about 1.5 weeks ago, my legs started going numb at night, then they get painful and wake me up, so I am getting like no sleep! I have tried things such as being more active in the evenings, stretching, eating potassium (bananas), and probably need to increase water intake...</p> <p>Anyone else have this? If so, have you found a solution, or is it just something I'll be dealing with for the next 20 weeks? </p>
