Position: May be positional and it may increase as the baby grows. Look for different positions, try pillows between your legs or the sides and see if it helps.

COULD BE : Meralgia paresthetica, due to transient compression at the hip area of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh. Should be transient, and reversible once labor and delivery are completed, but check with obstetrician if it becomes more persistent and intensive.
