Yea I'm the same way I'm 28 weeks pregnant and haven't touched any kind of meds besides my prenatals so that's why I figured I'd try the icy hot patches but the box said not to use if ur pregnant, did it say to ask ur doctor if you were pregnant??

I have some of those icy hot patches that I used to use for my back b4 I was pregnant and my back was hurting the other day and I was going to use one but I read the directions and it said not to use if your pregnant so check the tube and see what it says or call your doctor and see what they say....

I would think so. When i first starting having real hard contractions at 35 weeks, it was all in my back. I didnt know they were contractions at the time and so i put icy hot on my back. But then it made the pain worse and i went to l&d. So i wouldnt think it would be bad since its your thigh, i even toldmy doctor i put icy hot on my back and she didnt say anything negative about it. So im yaking it its ok.
