im 18+2 and im suffering with dead legs. it gets worse at night and when i am sitting. the dr said i could take paracetamol but other than that there is nothing else i can do, it is just one of those 'pregnancy' things and it could get better or get worse and last until the time the baby is born!!!
I'm not saying any of you lovely ladies have this but have you heard of carpal tunnel syndrome. I know it causes pins and needles, numbness and burning in the hand, fingers, forearm and sometimes upper arm. Think i read that pregnancy can sometimes trigger this among other things as well . It's a fairly common condition. I know my mum ended up getting it in both her hands. Its caused by too much pressure on a nerve in the wrist
