Why do my thighs hurt?

So I'm 38 weeks pregnant and lately my inner thighs have been soo sore like if I have been working out or something like that. It's so sore I can hardly get around. Just wondering if anyone knows why this happens? I'm soo tired!!! :(

IM 37 weeks and around and 35 weeks I got the same thing. It feels like I have done a complete body workout but especially focused on my legs... My doctor said it could be carrying the extra weight, the way you have to position your self at work, or doing house work, or it could be carrying and extra fluid around your joints and muscles and it causes the extra pressure feeling.

Also if the baby has dropped in can cause pain in your thighs and be hard to walk.

I think it's cuz we are carrying around more weight, plus working our muscle in a slightly different way than they are used to due to our center of gravity being off. Mine are sore as well.
