Leg pain is very common, but please be cautious. If the pain is very severe, or if you see any swelling or redness in one leg, immediately contact your gynac. Otherwise, thoda gentle stretching might help.
Haan na, leg pain is so annoying during pregnancy! Try keeping your feet on a pillow while sleeping. And tell your husband to give you a light massage with warm oil, it really helps.
Instead of buying expensive massagers, just use a warm hot water bag or a simple oil massage at home. If the pain doesn't go away, ask your doctor in your routine checkup so you don't spend extra on sudden hospital visits.
My mother suggested soaking my feet in warm water with rock salt, which helped a lot. But I also asked my doctor, and they suggested starting calcium supplements. Trust your doctor's advice on this.
Actually, leg cramps are the worst, yaar. Drink lots of water because dehydration also causes cramps. Also, do some light ankle rotations before sleeping.
