Help, thigh / front of leg pain before labour?
Has anyone else had pains in the thighs anything from 6 to maybe even 10 minutes apart. It’s like sciatica or cramp is going to start but I literally cannot walk or move and feel like I’m going to mess myself. I can’t put weight on my legs when it happens so literally clung to my husband. Bump goes hard each time too and is tight.
Emergency unit just basically said to me unless the pain is in your bump or lower back it’s not labour just rest?! I really disagree with this though as one of my friends had it all in her legs to start with.
I should have been having a c section dead on 39 weeks to help reduce the chance of going into labour naturally. But they’ve moved it to 39+5! So now I’m really panicking I won’t get to that

If your bump is tightening at the same time it could be contraction. Time the space between episodes and length of each episode and call them back if you are not happy. TELL them you’re coming in to be checked!
I had that with both my pregnancies... I was in labour
Thank you for the replies. I came home and had very upset stomach and pains trying to sit on the toilet . Thought I’d lie down see if the pains stopped. Slept for 40 mins woke up and it’s all stopped 😂🤦🏼♀️🙈 I really thought that was it lol!
@Sian obviously your body is getting ready x

I’ve been getting this but with pain in my bump and lower back for over a week, today they’ve become about 15 mins apart but still holding out at home as I’ve no clue what it could be. X
