Has anyone else experienced this. My legs are so tight and hard it's feels really really weird. Also getting little stabbing pains up the calves. Was so worried I took myself off to walkin centre today who sent me to A&E. After bloods and scan of legs it's not a DVT. Was told it was just a pregnancy thing. Still freaking me out a bit and I don't know how to ease it. This is my second and I didn't swell at all with my DS.

Just giving it a bump. Anyone suffered the same?

I had something similar with my feet and hands about the same time. Could not believe I would be restricted to the same pair of shoes for 7 or so months or that I would not be able to wear my wedding rings for such a long time! The usual advise of elevating legs and drinking lots of water helps to a degree. I am 36+4 and looking forward to the birth. Obviously to meet my baby but also to lose the fluid retention that has been pretty uncomfortable for most of this pregnancy.
