A member asked:

What causes painful inner thigh cramping during the last few weeks of pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Growth of the baby: As the baby and uterus continue to grow they put downward pressure into the muscles and ligament of the pelvis, which is probably why this is happening. Meanwhile, drink plenty of fluids and do stretching exercises.
