legs go numb??

For the last couple of weeks, my legs would go numb one at a time briefly while I'm walking. But today only my right leg went numb constantly while I was walking around. Very scary feeling, I thought my leg would go out several times. Anybody have this happen?? 37+4

Ok, shaynaruth, it's my thigh also! We were commenting at the same time. That's probably what it is I'm guessing then. Thanx ladies

I don't see Dr til Tuesday. I'm wondering should I see someone sooner or just wait. And yes, it only happens when I walk. I thought about sciatic nerve also but it's more of my thigh should I say and the front of it at that. Weird, Idk what to do besides just try to lie down and rest :-/

I'm only 21 weeks and my right thigh (only the thigh) goes completely numb at least twice a day.  I have sciatica (have had it before pregnancy, so expected this) and it's definitely no joke.  Best of luck.

Sounds like sciatic nerve pressure. Does it only happen when you walk?

Baby is probably sitting on your nerves, it can cause searing pain or numbness. I was lucky to get the numbness, my friend told me the pains she got were unbearable. I would bring it to your dr.s attention but, don't stress about it. Try sitting or lying down on your side to shift baby's position when possible.
