Hi all.

I'm now 36 weeks pregnant, and for the last few weeks I've been getting a very sore burning/stretchy feeling in my left thigh.

It's only one side, but it's so painful to touch and I can't lay on it. Its so difficult to describe.

Is it just me?

get yourself checked out OP.
I'm not medically trained so can't offer advice but when I read your post I immediately thought "blood clot?"

After doing some googling.. I came across something named Meralgia Paresthetica.. a compressed large nerve in the thigh.

I'm seeing the midwife on Tuesday so will mention it then.

Could it be sciatica? I've been suffering from it lately but only like when i move it hurts but could be different forms of it maybe or could be wrong. Hope u manage to get sorted, being in pain is not nice. Take it easy xx
