Bad pains in leg

[joojoobean99]

Hi all,

I'm 26 weeks pregnant and have been suffering with quite bad sciatica in my left leg for the last few weeks. In the last couple of days, I've developed a bad aching pain on the inside of my thigh (where I don't think sciatica usually is lcoated). Last night, the pain went from the inside of the thigh down to my knee and I'm now struggling to put any weight on it. I know I'm probably being paranoid but I'm worried about DVT or something like that because this is quite a weird pain that I've never felt before. Can anyone reassure me whether this is a normal pregnancy thing? There's so many bizarre things that happen during pregnancy that I can't be sure if this is one of them!

TIA x

I've had similar and been told it's the way baby is laying. I've also had my leg go sort of numb.

It is worrying though and I worried a lot about dvt. If you are really concerned check with your gp

I'd say get it checked out. Better to be paranoid then let it go unchecked. I had a pain in my inner thigh - groin area that moved down to my calf - felt like a pulled muscle. There were no other signs but it was a dvt. Thankfully they did a scan and found it.
