I am feeling numbness and tingling in my upper abdomen for the last few days. It comes and goes, but it is there most of the time. I am 27 weeks, is this normal?

Numbness and tingling in the upper abdomen during the 27the week of pregnancy is normal and it seems that there is nothing to be worried about. However, you can always seek an examination or appointment at your ob/gyn's office if you feel that this symptom is troublesome. When it comes to seeking medical advice, it is good practice to use your own instincts and judgment.
