Hi I'm 37 almost 38 weeks pregnant,
I've had sciatica for a good few weeks now but today I have been feeling some new sensations I'm rather paranoid about,
The best way I can describe it is pinching sensations at the back of my thighs, this has been happening all day, I'm not dehydrated as my urine is very light, I am very nervous and good at thinking the worse please someone put my mind at ease and tell me you've experienced this before!
Xx

Hmm I get pain down the back of my legs but this is due to SPD / pelvis girdle pain, have you had any problems with ur pelvis? I know the blood flow in legs are affected as u get bigger

@Pickles31 Thankyou for the reply! I do suffer from SPD hoping it is just that trapping my nerves, I also have a circulation disorder so maybe the both are causing this. This is my 3rd pregnancy and never experienced these weird sensations before so I'm abit in edge not to mention I've been under immense stress the 3rd trimester I can't wait to have my boy in my arms so I know he's okay!

I’m also having a boy and can’t wait, I’m also suffering a bit in third trimester but more to do with extremely bad constipation! Confused it started last Tuesday and I’ve take some lactulose to try and thought it was working but today I had same situation happen just this eve I was in pure agony for over an hour and half :( think will have to go see doctor tomorow as I can’t feel like that every time I need the loo it’s awful! I would recommend for ur legs maybe trying a mum to be massage, lots of beauty places do these, I had one at center parks and it really helped with my leg circulation
