Im planning and just curious what all to expect aage chalke. My cousin keeps saying her legs used to hurt a lot. Is leg pain a common thing for everyone or only some?
Yes, leg cramps are very common, especially at night. You can try soaking your feet in warm water with some rock salt before sleeping, it really helps. But if you see any swelling or have sharp pain in one leg, please ask your doctor immediately.
Oh god, those middle of the night calf cramps! My toddler is 2 now, but I still remember waking up crying with leg pain during my second trimester. It is temporary and goes away completely after delivery, so dont worry too much.
Haan yaar, leg pain toh bilkul common hai, mere toh calves me bahut cramps aate the. Apne legs ke niche pillow rakh kar soya karo, thoda relief milega. Aur heavy kam thoda kam karo abhi, thik hai na?
Between my non-stop vomiting and these awful leg cramps, my body felt totally broken. Sometimes low potassium from dehydration makes it worse. Try to sip on coconut water and keep yourself hydrated, it might ease the muscle pain.
Leg pain can happen due to poor blood circulation or lack of calcium. However, please check with your gynac first before trying any remedies. Only they can tell if it's normal fatigue or if you need any specific supplements.
Actually, leg pain is quite common, but sometimes nutritional deficiencies make it worse. Since I had thyroid issues, I made sure to get my blood tests done regularly. Ask your doctor if you need calcium or vitamin D supplements to help with the pain.
Honestly, I used to stay awake worrying if my leg pain was something dangerous like a clot or something. Most of the time it is just normal fatigue and weight pressure, but do tell your doc if the pain is too much to handle.
When I was staying at my mummy's house, my mother used to gently massage my legs with warm mustard oil every evening. It gave me so much relief from the daily aches. Try to rest your feet on a pillow while sleeping, it helps a lot.
Look, your body is carrying extra weight, so of course your legs will ache. Just drink plenty of water and dont stand for too long at a stretch. If the pain gets too severe or unbearable, directly call your doc instead of ignoring it.
I had terrible leg pain too, maybe because of hormonal shifts and extra weight. Since I had a history of PCOS, I was extra careful and mentioned it to my doctor. They checked my vitamin levels and adjusted my calcium, so do consult your gynac once.
