I have 3 different questions about my girlfriends pregnancy.?

Question

My girlfriend is 34 weeks pregnant and her arms and legs sometimes tends to go numb in felling and she has also wanting to know she has been having some fluid leaking first it was clear but now it is kinda of a yellow in color we have been told that leaking can be a sign of of your water starting to break or it is breaking. Last question what makes the baby have so many hicups?

Answer 1

Going numb is just a part of it. No matter if you are laying on them or not. She may have lost her mucus plug, which is a sign that the birth is on its way. Not necessarily right now or anything. Breaking water there is a lot, when you do that. So, I don't think that is it. Hiccups, I don't know.
Congrats.

Answer 2

Okay... She needs to contact her OB about the numbing sensation, it could be something very very serious.

As far as leaking fluid, again, the dr would be able to tell her if she is leaking. With the weight of the baby, it could just be caused by pressure on her blatter causing urine leakage. Tell her to wear a maxi pad. And this is going to be gross, but after she has 'leaked', smell it - amnotic fluid has a very very strong odor (obivously, it won't smell like urine). If she is still concerned, mention it to her OB.

As far as the hiccups....
Babies in the womb are in a 'sac full of water', they also get everything the mother puts into her system. It could be that the baby is swallowing some amnotic fluid (which is normal), or it could be a result of the type of food/drinks the mother is eating. Hiccups in the womb are common and no need for worry.

I hope this helps!!

Answer 3

Arms & legs going numb could be a sign of blood cirulation being constricted in these areas, especially if she has gained a lot of weight. Fluid leaking is a sign the labour is starting!!!!!!!!!!! She will only be in first stage but it is best to at least call the doctor or hospital for more infomation.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hiccups are natural

Answer 4

Arms and legs go numb because fluid retention causes pressure on the nerves to your extremities. Carpal tunnel syndrome, for example, is common in pregnant women and often resolves itself after delivery.

Fluid leakage is something that her OB will DEFINITELY want to know about. Especially if it's changed in color! How long has this been going on? You need to call the charge nurse in Labor&Delivery or your on-call OB tonight and explain what's going on. They may want her to come in right away; they may have to put her on IV antibiotics if her water truly has broken before contractions have started.

Babies hiccup. I don't know why they do, but they do.

Answer 5

numbness is unfortunetly a common thing in pregnancy.if its interfeing with daily life she needs to let her doc know.as for the leaking of fluid her water probobly broke and she needs to call the doc right away just to make sure.the hiccups researchers think are a way to strengthen the muscles in the baby.heres a link that says more about fetal hiccups.
