A member asked:
Sitting with leg bent for 30 min and leg fell asleep. 37 weeks pregnant. does that have anything to do with circulation to the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest easy: By sitting on your leg you were compressing the nerves in your leg causing it to go to sleep. In no way does it have to do with the baby's circulation.
