random pin pricks?

I hope this doesnt sound crazy but for the last week or so ive noticed in my legs and feet I will just out of no where suddenly feel as if someonepoked me with a needle. Its odd feeling enough that I gotta rub the area for a few minutes to get the feeling gone. Its not like the tingle feeling ya get when its gone to sleep or anything. Just like one single prick. My leg or bottom of foot. So weird. Im 20 weeks pregnant. Thus far blood presure and sugar levels have been normal. I admit ive been almost none active this pregnancy just because of miscarriage issues. So has anybody else felt this?

Mine is in the arch and heel also. Hmm maybe it is pregnancy stuff. Its kinda crazy the stuff this pregnancy brought on. Stuff like this never happened with my older two kids buuut I was 11 years younger lol but yeah its def creepy feeling. Ive even had moments ive sorta jumped when it happened, its like somethin got me!  But its good to know im not alone. I started to think my imagination was going wild.

I've totally noticed the exact thing you just described! On the bottom of my foot, either in the arc or in my heel. I'm not diabetic and my BP has also been normal. I've not been active really either (other than house work) because I had issues with getting pregnant in the past. I'm almost 31 weeks and first noticed the pin prick feeling in my foot maybe a week ago or so. It's really weird. My feet/ankles have been swelling quite a bit for a while now, maybe that has something to do with it.

Mine is more of like if I were getting shocked. Like a little zap here and there on the bottom of my feet. I am diabetic since before pregnancy so I brought this up to doctor. She said It can be the baby laying a certain way effecting nerves and what not or since I'm diabetic a early sign of neurothopy. It such a pain in the ***. I hope it's just pregnancy related and not early signs of neurothopy for me.
