For the past week my legs feel so heavy and weak, like there is no energy in them at all. My period is a little late too so my mind is going everywhere. Has anyone felt this kind of leg weakness in early days?

Leg weakness alone is not a sure sign, lots of things cause it. In pregnancy the overall fatigue is common because of changing hormones. Watch for missed period and other signs together rather than just this.
It can happen due to tiredness, but sudden weakness with dizziness or fainting is something I would not ignore. I had low BP once and felt exactly like that. Please get it checked with your gynac to be safe.
My doctor told me early pregnancy fatigue is very real because of rising progesterone, and that can make legs feel weak. She also said low iron makes it worse, so she checked my haemoglobin. Worth getting your levels tested.
In my early weeks I felt my legs were so heavy and tired, even walking to the kitchen felt like a task. I think the tiredness was the bigger sign for me. It got better once I started resting more.
Some weakness is normal na, my body felt so drained in the beginning. My mother used to make me drink ragi kanji for strength. But if it feels too much, do check with the doctor.
