Bad leg pain, early pregnancy.

Hi y'all, I have just found out I'm pregnant so still in the very early stages. 4-5 weeks!
I have woken up this morning with really bad pain in both my legs, running down the front of them, almost like a burning sensation. Everything else feels fine.
Do I need to be concerned or can I go back go bed and sleep all day?

I had burning pain in one leg early in my first pregnancy (about 12 weeks though). The overwhelming opinion was that hormonal changes had loosened joints/ligaments etc which had led to a trapped nerve. It passed within a few days but marked the start of SPD - hope its not the same for you!

i had this but only mild burning pain at the back of one leg in early pg, i was told it was sciatica....you need to do some exercises. If any worse, see your gp or physiotherapist.

Hi iI had this at around 5 weeks. I was in agony, turned out I had a water infection and it disappeared after taking the first antibiotic. X

Thanks ladies, it is feeling better today, so hopefully it was nothing major. :)
