Pins and Needles in Feet


I've been finding that the last few weeks if i sit or lay for a certain length of time i get pins and needles in my feet. Does anyone else get this?

Is it because of the position i lay it - Maybe the baby is on a nerve?

Yep I get it too, can't remember why but apparently it is normal! Maybe to do with having more blood in the body, no idea sorry! Annoying though

It's due to the increased blood volume, which leads to more fluid in the lymphatic system, which compresses nerves. All normal! I know, been getting it too, especially in yoga class. It's annoying!!!
