No........this couldn't be the effect of the baby laying on a nerve.

I presume that she has had a recent antenatal check of her urine and BP to exclude PET. I cannot think of any cause for her numbness, but i would check with her GP or Obstetrician.

Thankyou for the reply I will tell her to contact the birth suite for advise, thanks again
has she been tested for GD?
What's GD?
gestational diabetes
LOL........thanks......GD........I would have presumed so.

GD!
Question Author
You know she had a fainting episode yesterday, didn't actually faint but went very dizzy and clammy, I have told her to call for advise.
Interesting....keep us informed.
i suppose that might fit with gd?
Question Author
I will do Thankyou
Question Author
She says her BP was fine at her appointment yesterday and the numbness is only occasionally, she also said she felt faint as she was hungry and I've to stop flapping :-/
Well....if it is her first baby.....then her symptoms may be due to anxiety, but after saying that, she needs to have some checks to exclude GD.
Question Author
It is her first and I'll pass your advise on, thanks very much for your time xx
I`m no expert but dizzy spells, numbness and tingling in the mouth and tongue can be signs of hyperventilation (due to various causes of anxiety)
I would wonder what her b/p is this evening?
careful sqad, you may agree with me twice on the same day, and that would never do!
