Pregnancy is a time of significant physiological change, and many women experience numbness and tingling due to:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Increased fluid retention and hormonal changes can lead to swelling and compression of the median nerve in the wrist. Sciatic Nerve Compression: The growing uterus can press against the sciatic nerve, causing discomfort in the lower back and legs. Meralgia Paresthetica: This is caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, leading to tingling and numbness in the thigh.
