Q: Thigh Cramps

I am 38 weeks and for the last 2 weeks my thighs have been hurting so bad. It is getting to the point were I can barely get out of bed anymore with out help, and sometimes even need help out of a chair. Walking isnt all the fun right now either. Does anyone else get this, does anyone know if its normal?

I think this is pretty normal. I am 37 weeks right now and I wake up constantly in the middle of the night and I have to flip over to the other side because my thighs and hips ache so bad. I heard it has to do with the extra weight pulling on your hips and thighs and it helps to put a pillow under your belly while sleeping for support. I haven't tried it, though. I wouldn't doubt if it also has to do with everything stretching and widening and getting ready for birth. Oh the joys of pregnancy. I just keep telling myself its all worth it in the end! Good luck to you!

I tried the whole pillow thing but I can not sleep like that at all. Just doesnt work for me. It is very worth it but still not the nicest thing to go through
