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.

@mrscobee: maybe ask your doc? I wonder if you pinched a nerve somewhere or something, that sounds so uncomfortable!

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?

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.

My left hip will go numb or get crazy nerve tingling if I lay directly on top of it. 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.
