Thigh pain

I’m 36 weeks tomo and have done 2 hours driving today (1hr at a time with a few hours break). My left thigh and lower left back are now v sore. Any ideas for something to relieve it? Feels like nerve pain rather than muscular. No position of my leg seems to help and really hoping for a good nights sleep before work tomo! Thanks

Not Sure this helps but with my second my initial contractions were felt in my thighs…… it was the strangest sensation. I had a C-section shortly after so don’t know what would have happened later on. I was 37 weeks.

Thanks, I have heard that before but this feels a bit too constant. We’ll see I suppose. This is my 3rd but I’ve never gone into labour before so no experience of what my body might do!

Sounds sciatic - I've had some issues with this at only 16 weeks 🙈. Hot water bottle and baths seem to help loosen it

Thanks I’ll try that as it seems to be driving that aggravates it and I’ve still got a bit more to do!

I took my hot water bottle in the car last week @Pheepa ! Some shoes also better than others for sure
