Im around 8 weeks and lately my legs ache a lot especially at night, sometimes my calves feel so tight. Is this a normal early pregnancy thing or should i be worried? anyone else felt this so early?
Mild aches are usually okay, but watch out for pain or swelling in just one leg that feels hot or tender. That needs a doctor check, mine flagged it as something to never ignore. If it is one sided and painful, call your gynac.
Beta, a warm oil massage on the legs at night used to give my daughter relief. Keep your feet up a little while resting. But if the pain is sharp or in one leg only, show the doctor.
Some leg aches and cramps are common from hormone changes and circulation. With both mine I got night cramps. Stretch your calves, stay hydrated and eat calcium rich food, it helps a lot.
