My legs and back ke muscles ache so much these days, especially by evening. Im 5 months in and havent done anything heavy, toh samajh nahi aa raha why this pain. Is this a normal pregnancy thing?
your muscles stretch a lot to support the belly, which causes soreness. if your gynac has allowed, do mild stretching or 15 mins gentle walking daily to keep muscles active.
my whole body feels like i ran a marathon without moving from my bed. hormone changes and carrying this extra human is making every single muscle ache right now.
with both my kids, muscle cramps were my worst enemy. your center of gravity changes, so back and legs take all the load. sit with a pillow behind u and ask your doctor if you need calcium supplements.
the body is expanding to make a cozy home for baby, so muscles are bound to complain a bit! 😅 just keep hydrating and take short walks whenever you can.
i also had terrible thigh and calf pain during my second trimester. i didn't take any medicine, just used a warm hot water bag and kept my legs elevated on pillows.
weight gain and posture change causes this, especially in legs. what worked for me was a simple warm mustard oil massage ghar pe and soaking legs in warm water with salt.
