Couple of Questions
Posted: 11-04-04 14:39pm

Ok..Everytime I sit for a period of 10 minutes or longer my legs feel numb...Especially if I cross them or sit indian style..I know that your limbs get numb in pregnany but I am only 18 w 5d. And when I sleep my hand is always numb when I wake up...Anything I can do besides sit a different way?

Also I have been getting this pain in my belly button area for the past couple of days and I don't know what it is.
Thanks

Ok the reason your legs are getting numb is because when you sit with your legs crossed it is harder for your blood to circulate properly, I know this because the same thing happens to me too and I have a bad habit of sitting with my legs crossed. And the reason you are getting pains around your belly button is probably because your uterus is expanding for the baby, I get these pains too I am 21 weeks

Ok..Thanks,i think it is just a habit I always sit with my legs crossed...I just thought it was a little early to be going numb. The belly button thing I didn't know if it was cause I haven't taken my ring out yet or what..I don't want it to close up.

I took mine out like 2 weeks ago, only because it was bothering me though, the hole was stretching plus my boyfriend said he didnt like anymore now that im pregnant. But i've heard of women keeping it in all the way through their pregnancy with no probs and ive heard of women taking it out at like 3 months and their hole never closed up. I hope mine doesnt close up!

I had low blood circulation during my pregnancy too. I could touch myself and the mark would stay there for a couple days. No not touch myself chanda, but put my hand on my leg!
