A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Numbness: Hormones produced during pregnancy can minimize the sensation which causes a shift in position during sleep. This results in exaggerated "numbness" in both arms and legs, which disappears on awakening. This phenomenon is more pronounced in women who are overweight.
