Achey legs, 15 weeks

Anyone else suffering with achey legs? My thighs feel like they've been doing marathons (they definitely haven't). 😬 It's slightly worse in one leg. Stretching isn't helping 🙁

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Oh gosh, I've been experiencing this—I'm 16 weeks along. Last night was definitely the worst. 😩 I just couldn't settle; every position I tried didn't help at all. After a night shift, it's the same story because I've been on my feet for 12 hours, and it feels like my legs just won’t settle down! 😣 I’ve never had this before, so I personally think it's related to the pregnancy. I'm thinking of speaking to my GP to check whether I'm anemic or if it could be due to a lack of something like calcium, magnesium, or some vitamin. Worth seeing GP if it doesn't settle in 2-3 days, Good luck!

Sorry you've been suffering too, but low-key glad I'm not alone! It's really odd, a bit like growing pains I had as a teenager 🥴🙃

I have a midwife appointment on Monday to review my screening, I'll see what she says. Pregnancy is so weird; every week I feel like I'm ageing another 100 years. 🥲 Anyone know when the pregnancy glow turns up?! 😂
