Pregnancy is often accompanied by hardships for pregnant women, not only enduring dietary restrictions but also suffering from various pregnancy related reactions. However, for the safety of the baby, pregnant women need to have a basic understanding of their physical reactions. Today, we will talk about what causes numbness in the middle of pregnancy?
In mid pregnancy, the growth rate of the fetus is relatively fast, and the uterus will also increase accordingly. The abdominal organs will be compressed, which will cause poor blood circulation. As the end of the body, the hands and feet may feel numb, and some may even show mild edema in the lower limbs.
Numbness in the hands and feet of pregnant women may also be caused by calcium deficiency. With the rapid development of the baby's bones, the calcium in the pregnant woman's body will be absorbed by the baby, which may lead to calcium deficiency in pregnant women. Lack of love can cause numbness in the hands and feet of pregnant women, and even lead to foot soreness and back pain.
If numbness occurs in the hands and feet, it can be alleviated through the following methods:
1. Firstly, it is not advisable to sit or lie down for a long time during pregnancy. Proper exercise should be carried out, such as taking a walk in the morning and evening every day, which can promote blood circulation. The numbness of hands and feet will naturally be reduced, which is also beneficial for smooth childbirth.
2. Soak your feet in warm water before going to bed and have your family massage them. Slightly raising the legs and feet during sleep can help with blood flow and eliminate swelling.
3. If you experience numbness in your legs and feet while sleeping, do not rush to get off the ground. Instead, ask your family to help massage or use their feet to forcefully push against the wall. Wait until the symptoms subside before getting off the ground to prevent instability and falling.
