What Causes Numbness Of Tongue And Lip?

I am 28 weeks weeks pregnant and the last hour I have felt really strange. My vision was blurred and now it has corrected itself. But then my tongue went numb for about 5 minutes and after it corrected itself my lips then went numb. It corrected itself and now my right hand has gone numb. Plus I feel really light headed. I am currently under a lot of stress with work and looking after my other kids. Should I worry about these symptoms? Or is this just the baby sitting on some sort of nerve?
