Weak arms and legs in early pregnancy

[Butterflyqueen990]

Just that really! Is it normal to have such weak arms and legs in early pregnancy? Can only be described as the feeling that comes after lifting something far too heavy but constantly

Could it be anaemia? I think it's worth mentioning to your doctor.

Sounds like anaemia - get a blood test ASAP x

My baby is 4 months old and I still have this.. wasn't anaemic

@K1999what was it ? Im 4 months and getting this alot :( worried its sometbing serious! Had bloods all normal xx

I had sore achy legs in the first few weeks after finding out I was pregnant, climbing stairs was hard work. It went after a few weeks then the nausea kicked in. All bloods were fine, I just put it down to being one of those pregnancy things. Hopefully it'll go soon.

@Vicalam hope so :) i am 17 weeks! But i currently have covid too. So i im not sure if thats making everything worse! Xx

I felt like this. I had difficulty folding towels etc as I had to hold them up. Also problems climbing stairs. I was previously fit and well and returned to being fit and well after pregnancy.

@Butterflyqueen990 , @Starrr123 , @K1999 have you ever found out what was it? I had it come on when I was 7 months pregnant, now 5 months postpartum and it’s getting worse if anything!

@Wobblyheart heyy! They put mine down to getting covid … still get it and my little girl is nearly2!! Hope ur ok xxx

I had this, my bloods were all fine and am now in the second trimester with no issue. Think it’s just one of those things
