Numbness down there ???

This is my first pregnancy and so many changed but one that I'm getting is weird, if I sit on the couch a certain way or lay in bed my vagina go's all numb not for long but it feels weird.
Why do you think this is? I'm 16 wks and going for my check up tomorrow but always like to ask the lady's on here first :) xx

It sounds like with the extra pressure of the baby, you're cutting off circulation to some of the blood vessels.  Try propping your legs with a pillow while you sleep and using supportive pillows behind your lower back when you sit.  Also, while pregnant don't stay in the same position too long - its good to move around, especially during those commercial breaks!  Congrats!

first congrats on your baby!!!       you may being  gettig numb when you sit a certain way because your baby is prob sitting on your bladder,   more blood pumps down here so things tend to get inflammed so your baby might be right on a nerve thus making you numb     try leaning forward  to move the baby around   and def talk with your doc to make sure everything is ok
