Pins and needles, sudden back pains, you name it, you'll be having it. I went through all that last year.
Have you had the cramping legs yet.
Im smiling....
do check with your doc though, dont listen to the likes of us on here, we all experience different things for different reasons.
Lots of luck with your Bump.

It might be, but there are also a couple of serious conditions that have pins and needles as a symptom. Go and see your GP/midwife, and they will check your blood pressure and take blood and urine tests to rule out whether it is anything serious. If it is something more serious, you're 37 weeks now, so your baby will be safe...but still, best not to leave it, because you could get sick.

It sounds like a sciatica which is the baby leaning on a nerve. I got this occasionally at 37 weeks, and then it went away...but for some it stays until delivery depending on how babe is lying. Good luck to you and just remember....you don't have long to go now.

There is a main nerve and artery that run down the right side and the baby is putting pressure on them. Try resting on your left side whenever possible and mention it to your OB at your next appt. It is nothing serious.

Possibly leaning / pressing on a nerve. BUT always better to check things out with your GP. Good Luck !!!!

it sounds very possible, try lying on your left side to take pressure off your right side see if that helps, if not talk to your doctor it could be apinched nerve do to the possition of the baby, pss congratulations.

Yes it probably is. If you change positions and it goes away you shouldn't have anything to worry about. If it doens't you might want to call the dr.
My son would sit himself on my spine and block the blood from going to my head so I would have to lay on my side so I wouldn't pass out.

yes. i would say thats just the baby laying funny. i would try to lay down and lay on different sides or get on your hands and knees and gently rock foreward and back. that can get the baby to budge and move a little bit and that can help! good luck!
