Thigh pain!

Have anyone else experience pain that starts between your legs and move down to your thighs? I have been having this for a few weeks now and yesterday at my baby shower I could barely make it to the chair to open my gifts! Can someone please tell me what this could be before I ask my doctor on Wednesday!

It's probably round ligament pain. I have the same pain and have had this pain since I was about 7 months and i am now 38 weeks and still feel the pain and it makes it very hard to sleep and roll over in bed as well as stand up. It's very uncomfortable but my doctor says it's normal and the only way to really ease the pain is to sleep with a pillow in between your legs. The pain is from your body preparing it's self to have the baby and also some of your weight gain in such a short amount of time. Hope I could help!!

It sounds like your body is just getting ready for baby. You have alot more blood flow to that area which causes more sensitivity. I haven't experienced this but I would definitely talk to my doctor. I know potassium helps with leg cramps but not sure about this. Try eating a banana and staying well hydrated. Good luck
