What Causes Upper Lip Numbness During Pregnancy?
Hello, I am four weeks pregnant and every day around 8am the left side of my upper lip gets numb for about an hour and then later on in the afternoon. It is my third pregnancy and I remember on the first one it happened later in the pregnancy. My second pregnancy, I miscarried at 6 weeks. Could you help?

Hi, I have gone through your question. Upper limb numbness in pregnancy is most probably due to vitamin B complex deficiency, especially Pyridoxine and methylcobalamine. Other causes can be nerve compression anywhere.
I would suggest you to consult a neurologist to get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly. In the meantime, you can start taking vitamin B complex as capsules once daily.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
