Could I be feeling braxton hicks in my thighs?

[Cies]

I'm 37 weeks with my second pregnancy. I often feel a kind of crampy, tight, tingly feeling in my upper inner thigh. This is at the same time as a tightening all over my belly. With dc1 I didn't have BH, or didn't realise I had them, but this time I'm sure these must be BH. But is it normal to feel it in my thighs too?

Having exactly the same at 37 + 4 . MW says its a result of baby pushing down into pelvis . I'm getting period type pains at the same time which i think is a mixture of the same and Braxton hicks . Hope this helps x

Thanks, that makes sense. Not nice though!

I didn't realise I was having contractions to start with as I felt most of the pain in my thighs. It never connected to me until DH said, lets time them. I had achey legs through most of the end of pg, afterpains were felt in my thighs too, like I'd run miles. I always expected the pain to abdominal.

Yes, I get some pain in my thighs too when baby wiggles a lot too (grinding her head into my bladder...) Can be quite uncomfortable. x

Sounds odd but bear with me... you know when you have been drinking, I always feel it in my thighs.
I have that now. I'm 36 weeks. I do have low blood pressure so I don't know if that's it? I have been having twinges.

Mmm Dr. Google says its blood pressure.
