Thy pain & between legs pain

Oh yes, this is very common at 6 months, the thigh and between-the-legs pain is usually because your body is releasing relaxin hormone to loosen your ligaments and joints to prepare for birth, and combined with your growing belly shifting your centre of gravity, the pressure down there can really be quite intense. My friend who delivered last year said it helped her a lot to do gentle stretching, stay well hydrated, and make sure her diet had enough magnesium and calcium to reduce the cramping. Honestly though, I will not sugarcoat it, some days the relief is minimal no matter what you try, so do not feel discouraged if the stretching helps only a little. The good news is it usually eases up when you rest and prop your legs up, but if the pain feels sharp, one-sided, or is getting worse, please do flag it to your gynae or doctor to rule out anything else going on.

Hi mum, I had this around second trimester also and it can happen because the pelvis joints and ligaments loosen during pregnancy, so pain in the thighs and between the legs is quite common. It can feel worse when walking, turning in bed or standing for long. But if the pain is very strong, affects your walking, or keeps getting worse, I think it’s good to let your gynae know because they can check for things like pelvic girdle pain and suggest safer ways to manage it. Gentle rest and avoiding too much strain usually helped me a bit.
