Leg ache

[megan1295]

I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant and for the past 8 weeks I have been suffering with a constant dull/heavy ache in my legs (mainly calves and ankles) sometimes the pain is unbearable and cry most nights.

It’s been affecting my sleep as I often wake up throughout the night with it or I can’t get to sleep with it.

I feel like I have to stretch and move them about as it’s too uncomfortable to keep them still.

I’ve never suffered with this before pregnancy and I can’t pin point if it’s restless legs or just general aches and pains of pregnancy.

I have tried so many things such as magnesium lotion, stretches, massaging, bananas, lots of water throughout the day, paracetamol, cold compress, warm compress, currently on iron tablets (Ferrous Fumarate), daily walks and nothing is helping.

Has anyone else had/have this during pregnancy?
