At 8 months, my legs feel like they belong to an elephant carrying bricks! I just sit down, put my feet on a stool, and make my husband do the massage work.
When my legs used to ache, my mother would gently massage them with warm mustard oil before bed. It really helped ease the muscles and let me sleep peacefully.
Standing in the kitchen to cook my favorite meals made my leg pain worse! Now I just sit on a stool to cook and munch on dry fruits to keep my energy up.
I recently delivered and had terrible leg cramps in my third trimester. Sleeping with a pregnancy pillow under my knees gave me immense relief from the pain.
I panicked thinking my leg pain was some major calcium deficiency, but doctor said it's just normal muscle strain. Taking my calcium supplements regularly and resting solved it.
Your body is carrying extra weight, so pressure on your legs is bound to happen. Don't stand for long hours, wear comfortable footwear, and do mild stretches daily.
