Numbness in upper leg/ hip area?

[nirvanca]

Hi ladies. I started feeling numbness in my left leg, from my hip to knee area. Is this normal? Any of you had it? Forgot to ask midwife about it. Thanks!

Ive experienced alot of numbness in my arms & hands on occassions but not in my legs & hips. it could be worth talking to your midwife about that.

I dont think its major worrying but its a Lil unusual.

Front or back of leg?

[nirvanca in reply to DrFluffy]

It's kind of at the front, not very prominent but i noticed it when i shaved - it's just a bit tender. Have just found forum on babycentre and some women have the same issue so i'm hoping it's not serious.

You should probably get it checked out with your GP, as it could map to the spinal nerve roots at L2 and L3 (lumbar spine) on your left side and may need monitoring. X

I get it all the time, but i'm suffering with PGP and sciatica. I've been told the numbness is just a normal, but horrible symptom! But obviously get it checked out if you're worried! Take care x
