im 30 wks pregnant this morning my tummy felt really numb (like the dead leg or arm feeling), baby was moving (could feel tht with my hand) and he moving well now just wondered if this numbness is normal (i got spd if tht makes any difference as tht seems to be worsening too)

I wouldn't worry too much. Baby could be laying on a nerve, or maybe the way you slept last night you were positioned on a nerve. Then again, I've had two c-sections, so the bottom part of my tummy is always numb...

Numbness is a symptom that can occur in different areas of the body, including wrists and hands, feet, and occasionally the stomach and thighs. Patterns of numbness follow the path of nerves. Carpal tunnel syndrome, one of the most common causes of numbness, is hand and finger numbness, tingling, and pain. It is not known exactly why this occurs during pregnancy, but fluid retention is thought to contribute. To make sure these symptoms do not worsen, see a specialist if you have numbness with pain or problems lasting longer than one week. Wearing a wrist splint at night and during daily activities might be all you need to solve the problem. Carpal tunnel syndrome of pregnancy also responds to icing, stretching, and occupational therapy if the symptoms are severe. Additional vitamin B6 can also help (ask your doctor before taking this). Carpal tunnel syndrome usually resolves a few months after pregnancy, although it can sometimes be made worse with child-care activities.

My belly around my belly button stayed oddly numb for awhile. I couldn't stand anything to touch it. Because I could feel it but it didn't feel normal. Like putting your hand against someone elses and then running your other hand along the fingers that are placed together...you can feel your and theirs but its weird because you can only feel it on one side. I eventually went away.
