Hi,
First, congratulations for your newborn baby.
The numbness your wife is feeling on her legs are due to anesthesia used during C-section intervention.
There are some of my patients reported such numbness even 1 year after C-section.
It will be subsided by time. If it will get worse, should consult with a neurologist for further evaluations.
All the best!
