Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 My only guess is that they or one of them is starting to press against your sciatica (sp) nerve in your back and that it is effecting your legs. My daughter was on mine and my back and legs were terrible. Hopefully they will move to a better position for you or you may just be stuck with that until they come out. they may have moved on down some and that is why they are next to the nerve now. just my guess but if it gets worse you could always callt he nurse at your docs office and ask her what she thinks.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Angie, Are your feet/legs swollen? In both of my pregnancies if I was laying on side for too long my hip (that I was laying on) would start tingling. As your OB about it. Question about strange discomfort..... I am 35 weeks pg with twin boys and in the last 2 weeks I have noticed that my feet & legs are feeling like they are tingling or trying to fall asleep ,for instance when I am layin in bed, or just sitting down. But the thing is I am not sitting or laying in a position that would make them feel that way? It is really a strange feeling.... Anyone have any ideas or input?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Angie, I think that is a sign that there is pressure on the Vena Cava (if I spelled that right ). I know that usually that is an issue if you are lying on your back after 20 weeks or so, but things are different for you because your pregnant with twins. It could be because the boys are getting so big now, especially since you have been blessed with carrying them for so long, that they are pressing on the Vena Cava in additional positions than just laying on your back. Maybe call your OB just to be sure and see if there is a need to worry and in the mean time do what you can to find a position that you don't feel like that. Hang in there sweetie, the boys are almost here! Axelrod Question about strange discomfort.....

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 more than likely, in my opinion, one of the babies is pushing on your siatic sorry not right spelling) nerve. It should be ok after the babies are born. Niki Question about strange discomfort.....
