My thighs ache mostly at night and sometimes it goes from hip to knee. I am in third trimester and sleep is already bad, this makes it worse. Is thigh pain common for anyone else?
Thigh pain in pregnancy is usually from the extra weight and nerves getting pressed as baby grows, plus the joints loosen. Mine ached too. Warm compress and not standing too long helped. If it's numbness or shooting pain though, mention to ur gynac.
My doctor said as the uterus grows it can press on nerves and cause thigh and leg pain, also low calcium can add to it. She checked my calcium and adjusted things. Gentle stretching and warm compress helped me. Worth telling ur doc so they can check calcium too.
I had aches too and at my regular check up my doctor looked into calcium and vitamin D, which can cause leg and thigh pain when low. Keep up your routine visits and mention it, they can test easily. Dont just bear it quietly.
Haan yeh thigh pain bahut common hai na, mere bhi hota tha specially raat ko. Thoda massage with warm oil and resting legs up helped me. Par agar bahut zyada ho ya swelling ho to gynac ko bata dena.
