Has anyone had this? I feel tingling in my face all the time. My blood sugar is fine, my blood pressure is fine (I take both at home) and nothing else is tingly or numb. I'm guessing the baby is sitting on a nerve? Or something to do with circulation? Google didn't give me many answers other than high anxiety or Bell's Palsy.
I'm seeing my OB tomorrow morning but just wondering if anyone has experience with it.

How long has it been going on? I don't really have any ideas but I don't think that the baby's position could affect your facial nerves.

It happens to me occasionally when I am pregnant, it usually is mostly my nose though, its super weird!

Hmm... If it happened all the sudden today I was going to be a little worried but I don't know what to think! I hope you feel better - I'll be interested to hear what your OB says.

Never my face, but I felt that way with my arms and hands a ton!

@HLK208: Bell's palsy is more common in pregnant women and tingling/numbness can be a warning sign that something is up with the nerves in that area; hopefully your Dr. can help you figure it out.
ETA: Arm/hand tingling and numbness is generally related to swelling around the brachial plexus or the carpal tunnel, so not directly related, but a similar issue.

Never had a tingly face, but hope it's nothing serious!

So in case anyone else searches this, my OB wants me to see a neurologist to find out if it's normal. She said there might be swelling in my brain (swelling from pregnancy) that's pressing against a facial nerve. Awesome.

My husband got Bell's palsy last year. It kind of comes on suddenly and half your face is paralysis. This doesn't sound like it but maybe it's different for pregnant women?
It cleared up after a month and he's perfectly fine now.

@PermaStudent: I'm 28 weeks.
They'll possibly do an MRI which I really, really don't want while I'm pregnant. My blood pressure was a little bit elevated today too so my doctor thinks the two issues are related.

@HLK208: You should do something really nice and relaxing for yourself to take a bit of the stress off. I hope you get more positive news from here on out! Keep us updated!
