🤰Outer thigh numbness, tingling, or burning during pregnancy? It may not always be sciatica.
It could be Meralgia Paresthetica, a temporary nerve irritation caused when the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve gets compressed due to pregnancy changes like a growing uterus, weight gain, and posture changes.
Common symptoms include:
✨ Burning sensation
✨ Tingling
✨ Numbness on the outer thigh
The good news? This nerve affects sensation, not muscle strength. Simple steps like avoiding prolonged standing, wearing loose clothing, changing positions often, and getting pelvic floor support can help ease symptoms.
Understanding your body helps you feel more confident through pregnancy. đź’›
