My calves and thighs ache mostly in evening, especially after standing in kitchen. I am 24 weeks and this pain is new for me. Anyone else got leg pain like this?
My gynac said leg pain and night cramps can be from the extra weight, pressure on nerves and sometimes low calcium or magnesium. She checked my levels and adjusted things. Worth mentioning at your visit, especially if cramps are frequent.
Very common as the body carries more weight and circulation changes. Put your feet up when resting, dont stand too long. If pain comes with a lot of swelling on one side though, mention it to your doctor to be safe.
Extra weight and pressure on the legs, plus poor circulation does it. I got bad leg pain especially at night both times. Gentle leg stretches, keeping legs raised on a pillow and a light massage really helped me sleep.
Warm water foot soak and gently massaging with oil helped my leg pain so much. Staying hydrated too. But one thing, if you notice one leg is swollen, red and painful in a specific spot, dont ignore that, get it checked quickly.
My legs ache like I ran a marathon and all I did was sit, where is the justice lol. Doc said its normal with the bump weight. Husband got assigned daily leg massage duty, that part I am enjoying.
