How can facial tingling be managed during pregnancy?

Many pregnant people experience tingling or numbness in different parts of their body, including the face. This can happen because pregnancy causes changes in blood flow, swelling, and sometimes pressure on nerves from shifting tissues.

To help manage facial tingling during pregnancy, try these steps:

Rest and avoid positions that put pressure on your neck or face. Practice gentle stretches or prenatal yoga to improve circulation. Stay well hydrated and maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Avoid stress and get plenty of sleep. If the tingling is severe, persistent, or comes with other symptoms like weakness, vision changes, or severe headaches, it’s important to tell your healthcare provider. They can check for conditions that need treatment, such as pregnancy-related high blood pressure or nerve problems.
