Hey there!!
It's very common to have muscles pool and pain during pregnancy.
I can understand this must be very discomfort
Patient awareness -
Causes
1) you weight gain
2) hormonal surge
3) postural change
Solution -
Sciatic nerve decompression,by stretching your piriformis muscle.
Next take a small ball and stand against a wall. Keep that ball between you right hip and wall. And roll it in every direction.
For further details feel free to consult me.

As you are in your pregnancy muscle cramps are very common. As you walk or change positions the muscles are more prone to develop a spasm or pull.
Ensure after walking you incorporate gentle lower limb stretches such as piriformis stretch, hamstring and calf stretches so that the length of the muscles are maintained.
While sitting make sure your weight is on your hips than your sacral bone. Keep your legs well supported on the ground.
Change position after 30-40mins.
Next Steps
If pain persists take an online consultation
Health Tips
Apply moist heat for 10 mins over the pain area.
Take proper pillow support while lying down.
