A CHIROPRACTIC CARE I am 20 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing numbness along the outside of my right thigh. I am not having any back pain but am concerned to have this symptom so early in my pregnancy. You may be experiencing meralgia paresthetica. This condition is common with rapid weight gain and an increase in the curvature of the lower spine with pregnancy. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve becomes impinged beneath the inguinal ligament causing numbness/tingling in the lateral thigh. It is usually relieved with sitting and exacerbates with walking. The symptoms resolve after your baby is born, but if you are concerned, speak with your obstetrician as inguinal hernias can also cause these symptoms. Dr.Brook A.
