Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Neurologist: If you are experiencing leg numbness then you will need to be evaluated by a neurologist. Many pregnant women at 31 weeks have insomnia and leg discomfort but if you legs are truly going completely numb then prompt evaluation is warranted
