Hello mem,
Good evening,
First of all congretulation for pregnancy n hope that you ll give birth to very healthy baby...
Now coming to your queries about pain in upper leg n headache etc...
In history you said you have 34 week of pregnancy means your uterus is quite big n your gait is also somewhat changed due to heavy abdomen...
This heavy uterus may press or irritate nerve of your legs...that cause pain even due to this flow of lymph is also hampered so this ll enhance your pain...
Again due to this heavy uterus n wt of all these on your back spine this ll cause back ache...
N headache due to excessive thoughts...
So I think once you should consult your obstrecian n also do some mild exercise that ll help in labour also n backache also...
Thank you,
Regards,
Dr.Ravi Kotecha
