Head numbness/black eye

Hi for the last couple of days i have had total scalp numbness on my right side along with a smallish lump over my eyebrow. Today i woke up with a black eye on the crease of my eye lid and whenever i touch the lump above my eybrow i get a tapping feeling on my scalp halfway back.
I have not banged my head or experienced anything like this before, i am 37 weeks pregnant tommorow and will go to the doctor in the morning but would love to know if anyone has heard of these type of symptoms before? thanks.

    I have no idea - but being pregnant, I would get to the doctor asap. you can't be too careful. You may have knocked your head but not remembered. Hope it is all OK. Seems very odd.

    Banged your head in the night/ been bashed by partner in the night?
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
