OK don't worry so much the baby could be sitting on your nerves that can make you feel numb when you turn on your side does it change!?!?!? I would get your blood work done and talk to your OB doctor you could have some diabetes
but no matter what any one says always call your ob doctor and tell them/
They could do a head scan that won't hurt your baby so think of that then they can tell if something is wrong or if the baby is pushing against a nerve
hope this helps
