Hi don't know if anyone can relate to this. I have a burning sensation in my right leg it used to be just when I walked for a while now its constant. It feels tingly, and sometimes itchy and when I touch it it doesnt feel like my leg it feels rubbery and wierd if that makes sense lol.

Call your midwife straight away, could be a blood clot, best to get it checked

Sounds like a trapped nerve

@Alfieb22 I’ve had the same thing since around 6 weeks I’m currently 16 weeks pregnant. It’s worse at night if I lie on my back and causes numbness, burning and pain. It’s caused by a trapped nerve, look up Meralgia paresthetica .... mention it to you midwife and ask for a physio referral.

I have this! As PP said it's Meralgia paresthetica, the baby or the bump had put pressure on a nerve in your hip and it's got trapped. Mine is worse when I walk or stand for more than half an hour. I got a physio referral but because of covid only had a phone call and some excercises posted out which weren't much use, hopefully you have better luck with a physio. The best thing I found we're lunges with your left leg forward and only stretch the right leg for 5 seconds at a time.
