[Submitted Question]

I have had some weird symptoms while working on hip abductor machines: a tingling/numb sensation down my legs. What should I be doing differently? I am just entering my second trimester of pregnancy.

The fetus is pushing on nerves that run through the pelvis and when you are doing hip abductor exercises, the pinching of the nerves is worse. If this happens often when you exercise, you should refrain from doing that exercise so the nerves are free from becoming pinched. The problem should resolve itself as soon as you deliver the baby.

I agreed with this WombToBloom... and you don't need to worry about that.
