Now ive got that out of way, are you sure its not baby lying on a nerve or blood vessel thats causing your leg to go dead? Little CRX used to have great fun doing that to me.
I recall being scared witless at about 35 weeks because my hand swelled up to about twice its normal size until I realised i had pulled my sleeves up and being bigger i had cut off the circulation to my hand.
Problems with wrists and pins and needles in hands can be caused by your hormones and the ligaments in your wrist. Its along the same lines as carpel tunnel syndrome but eases again after the birth.

Agree with Redcrx - I'm sure you needn't worry, but it's best to get it checked out. The Carpel Tunnel Syndrome was actually the only adverse effect during both pregnancies that I suffered from - but how!! My fingers swelled up and I thought I'd have to have my rings cut off. Luckily , it subsided, but I had it quite a lot.
