Could be iron deficiency? Are you taking iron?

Also poor circulation - can you get someone to give them a good massage then put your feet up for a bit, to get the blood going and your lymphatic system too

Is it still happening? Some people get labour pains their thighs. Given you’re a bit early, if it’s still happening then call triage

Ok yep it could well be that then :)

Iron deficiency is a cause of restless legs too, if you ever get that?

Just remember iron supplements can worsen constipation so if you get that at all, try eating lots of soft fruit every day to counter act it! Some yummy apricots, nectarines, berries around at the mo, that will really help x
