Lately i get this weird numb feeling in my lower back, kind of dull and tingly. Im 6 months now. Is this a pregnancy thing or am i sitting wrong? Anyone else felt this?
Yes, absolutely! My pregnancy app actually mentioned that numbness or tingling in the lower back, hips, or legs is quite common. It's usually due to the growing uterus putting pressure on nerves, or changes in your posture and ligaments relaxing. Try gentle stretches, a warm compress, and good posture. But do mention it to your gynac during your next visit.
Yes, beta, it is quite common to feel numbness in your lower back during pregnancy. Your body is changing so much. Just rest well and try to maintain good posture. Mention it to your doctor when you go for your check-up.
Haan beta, my mom used to say that back pain and even some numbness can happen. It's because the baby grows and your body adjusts. Just try to take it easy, don't stand too long, and get some rest. My MIL used to give me a gentle back massage sometimes, which helped. But do tell your doctor also.
It's quite possible, as the baby grows, it can put pressure on nerves in your lower back and pelvis. I always made sure to ask my doctor or the hospital nurses about any new symptom, no matter how small. So please, next time you see your doctor, explain exactly what you are feeling, they can give you specific advice.
Girl, my lower back felt like a stranger's body part by the end! Numbness, tingling, full-on protests from my spine. Blame it on the baby's growing weight and all your ligaments loosening up. Totally normal, but still a pain (or lack thereof!). Just try some gentle stretching or a warm bath, and tell your gynac, they might suggest some exercises.
