Hi

I have had somthing this in my right thigh just above the knee. There was a thread on here about it a while back, I'll try and find it.
I think it's a nerve thing like sciatica and caused by where the baby is lying pressing on a nerve.
I had a pregnancy massage yesterday and she did a bit of work on the area, pressing on the nerves which was a bit sore at the time but today it is a lot less tingly and not sore for the first time in weeks!
I find it changes around from a bit itchy to mild pins and needles to a bit numb with a bit of pain, it seems to help to rub the area.
