Hi since ive been pregnant (14 weeks) ive been getting dead legs from the knee up. Feels like pins and needles but without the pins and needles! At first it was just at night but now it seems to be lasting through the day sometimes, a really odd numb feeling.
Just wondered if anyone else had felt anything similar?

Sorry Sara Lou keep invading your posts. Like your last post on period cramps. Dead legs is something I also have a had from about 16 weeks. I got a lot of cramp in the back on my calf too. Think it's again body making room for growing baby.

I'm sure I asked this when I was early on and some one said due to blood mass increasing in body :)

I'm 22 weeks and have had this loads, not so much in the last few weeks so maybe it stops?. But now I get random cramp in my leg in the middle of the night that wakes me up wide awake and bloody hurts. The joys eh? It'll be worth it x
