Has anyone else had a problem with pinched nerves during pregnancy?

Hi! I had a 'trapped' nerve early in pregnancy and the pain was in my left thigh and at first it would be eased by sitting, but then it was a dull ache/pins and needles constantly. It was due to the uterus/baby position and when I mentioned it to the GP, he said that there was nothing they could do (my GP is pretty useless though, to be honest). Luckily for me, when the uterus lifted out of the pelvic area in 2nd trimester, the nerve pain also went - I was starting to worry about having it for the whole pregnancy. The only other thing the GP said was that even after having the baby there may be some residual nerve damage so the pain may not go immediately but it should go eventually (depends on how long you have the pressure on the nerve, I suppose). It may be that if the babies shift position, it may ease the pressure on the nerve. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
