Sore legs!

The past few mornings I've woken up with really tight calf muscles and sore legs. Feels REALLY good to stretch them, but I'm just wondering if it's a pg thing?? I do yoga twice a week (and have been since before I got pregnant) but can't think of anything else that I have done differently this week to give me sore legs?!

Hmm, don't suppose that's really a question, more just wanting to know if anyone else gets this or has had it?

the only time i wake up with legs like that is if ive had cramp during the night...like lastnight for the 1st time this pregnancy i guess im lucky to have got away with it this long ..hopefully your legs sort themselves out soon

Ahhh, yes it's exactly that kind of feeling cuppatea! And it feels better if I stretch my toes up to my knees as well. Wonder if cramping in the night is partly why I'm waking up so often but I haven't realised it.

Might try the magnesium supplements if I wake up with the same thing tomorrow as well. Thanks for the tips

i used to wake with these during the night with my last preggy, mw told me to take magnesium tabs so i would take one every night if i knew i had done heaps of walking. also can be something to do with the amount of salt in your diet? Anyways, i foudn if i took mg tabs, i was fine & the nights i didn't take them, i woudl wake up in agony. when it happens, ice on for ten mins, off for ten mins then on again for ten mins i used to find was enough to relieve the pain so i could get back to sleep. also a couple of panadol sometimes helped.

i used to rub tiger bam in & that would sometimes help

sor ehip scan be sciatica pain. i find it transfers down my legs & aches in my hip joint, my knee joint & my ankle all at the same time. You could also try talking to your mw and getting them to refer yo for physio if it keeps up. The physio should be able to help you manage it.

good to hear kiwisj!
