Beta, it sounds very painful, especially during pregnancy. For now, try to rest completely and lie on your side, preferably the one that doesn’t hurt as much. Gently elevate your left leg with a pillow. A warm compress or a hot water bag on your hip or the sorest part of your leg might offer some comfort. You can also try a very gentle massage on the calf and thigh, but avoid deep pressure.
This type of pain, often radiating from the hip, can sometimes be sciatica, which is common in pregnancy due to pressure on nerves. Please drink water and stay hydrated. Since no doctor is available now, keep your gynaecologist's emergency number handy and call them if the pain becomes unbearable, if there’s any swelling, redness, or if you develop a fever. Make sure to get an appointment with your doctor first thing in the morning to get it properly checked.
