Do stretches: sometimes because of the edema and limited mobility, nerve can become compressed against tissue and have numbness, tingling. Try doing mild stretches when you get up and before you sleep find a position that helps prevent it. Once you deliver, it will improve best wishes Dr M

Arm numbness: Are you lying down with your head on your arm? If so, then that will compress the blood vessels and nerves in your arm and cause temporary arm numbness. A pregnancy test will resolve your other question.
