A member asked:

I'm really worried about cauda equina syndrome or something wrong with my spine. i'm also 29 weeks pregnant and i have numbness in vaginal and back passage area. should i be worried.? i've been checked at my maternity hospital?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

At about 29-30 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal pressure on the lower spine alone can cause the symptoms described. If there is co-existing chronic back pain preceded the pregnancy, see a neurologist to rule out cauda equina syndrome.
