Sciatic nerve causing numbness in thighs?

Question

All day today my outer thigh has felt numb and weak whenever I sit down. It started on my right side, and now it’s affecting my left side as well. It’s not painful or tingly, just feels weak and my thighs feel like jelly if that makes sense. Is this sciatic my sciatic nerve? Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Answer

I have it! When I gave birth to my first, my left thigh was constantly numb for 6 months after. Not the same uncomfortable numb as when I was pregnant, just like if something brushed against it I couldn't feel it. 6 months later feeling came back.

Answer

Yup I have it in my right thigh! Even after I had my first and now it's more intense with baby#2
