What Causes Numbness In Pelvis And Vaginal Areas During 37 Weeks Pregnancy?

I'm 37 weeks and feel numbness in my pelvis and vaginal areas. I have been having extremely strong Braxton Hicks since I was 20 weeks, but lately they make me lose control of my leg muscles if I am standing. Does that call for an induction/early labor? Also I haven't slept in over 3 days.

hi,welcome to healthcare magic forum.No,there is no need for induction or early labor.IT happens in 90% women because of decrease blood supply due to pressure over artery and vein.Numbness because of pressure over nerves.so its all normal but if it creates more problem & disturbs your day to day work consult the gynecologist. take care.
