It started on the morning of 23+3 and I'm now 25 weeks. My right foot has been numb on the right side just below ny ankle. Its numb just like your cheeks feel after dental freezing. When I walk it hurts ...especially when the pressure is on the front of my foot in my step.

my Dr said its possible my uterus is pressing on a nerve (not sciatic, but it started with a P and I can't remember which nerve he said it was...ughh). I'm going to ask my OB about it when I go in three weeks because the numbness never goes away and the pain has been getting worse.

anyone ever have something like this and know what it is? I'd love to know. Its horrible. Also my Dr says "it might go away and it might not.." .....well thanks lol that sucks.
 
Popliteal nerve? Peroneal nerve?
I've had a tingly sensation in my feet off and on during this pregnancy but no numbness. Do you have any leg swelling? Peroneal nerve branches off your sciatic nerve. Are you seeing your doc again or a physio?

I'm just meeting my OB for the first time in a couple weeks...ive been going to my family Dr up until now.

I've read about the peroneal, perineal, pudendal, etc....not sure what he said. But I also get the tingling off and on like my foot is asleep.

no crazy swelling, just my feet swell when I'm on them for a couple hours and the right one gets that pain. It travels from near my baby toe along the right side of my foot and slightly up my calf.
luckily today is my last day of work before pregnancy leave...can't handle being on my feet like this anymore..ouchy.
I think this is all part of the same nerve issue......when I stand on one foot, usually my right, I get a sharp pain in my tail bone.
 
My feet don't tingle, but my hands do.

yeah, I read its typical for hands to do it because of a nerve in the carpal tunnel...
the more I read up on the feet the more I think its the peroneal nerve caused by uterus pressing on sciatic. Ugh I want it to stop...
