A member asked:
I am pregnant very close to delivery 38 weeks and feeling lower back pain stomach cramps as well as cramps in the thighs with numbness ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back pain/38 weeks: At 38 weeks, the fetus "drops" to a lower place in the birth canal, causing more pressure on the lower back and sciatic nerves which in turn will cause thigh cramps. This will resolve with delivery, but resting on left or right side may relieve the numbness in your legs and cramps on the opposite side.
