I didn't have them in early pregnancy either, but I'm now 31 weeks and my right leg (thigh and hip mainly) is sooo achey!

I have juat found out im pregnant, very faint line on FR so 99% sure, and i have the most achey legs, mostly at night, like now there driving me nuts, so im not the only one then?? did you all that have it ealr got them from the start? i usually used to get them on my period and i would take some paracetamal and that would be it, but this has been 3 nights in a row and in the morning there fine.

I had achy legs as soon as I found out I was pregnant, in fact it was the only symptom I had although I didn't realise it was a pregnancy symptom then.

They stopped at around 26 weeks and then came back about 3 weeks ago I am now 36 weeks. It is agony especially in the morning. I would find it so much more comfortable to sleep on my back as sleeping on my side is really hurting my legs and back but unfortunately at this stage in my pregnancy sleeping on your back is not advised.

Oh no what a nightmare for you, i have read somewhere that it could be down to dehydration so i have been drinking loads, maybe it might help a little.

Oh yes It was awful. Restless leg syndrome. I had to move them every few seconds.
I took paracetamol and ate more bananas...it helped!

i was told by my gp to cut down bananas cos they were making me a bit constipated as a result i know hav the joys of piles to contend with.
