Anyone experience this? I’m not talking about leg cramps, I don’t get those… I just have this achy sore feeling in my ankles and legs all the time :frowning:

My OB/GYN says its normal … I need some totkaas or ilaaj to get rid of this ache… its driving me crazy. My feet have started getting swollen too :naak:

Wonder if it's due to a vitamin deficiency?

Aches and such are normal, due to the extra weight, but make sure you're regular about your vitamins.

I'm totally regular about my vitamins, maybe missed them only 2 days in the last 6 months.... plus I'm also taking additional Vitamin D supplements on my OB/GYN's recommendation.... do you think its cuz of sitting in the office for 8 hours? I try to put my feet up as much as I can, have an ottoman under my desk.... but my legs still hurt :(
Or maybe cuz I'm not getting enough rest at home, I can't stop cleaning.... getting neurotic about everything these days.

I know exactly how your feel :( I'm going through the same thing these days, aches and slight swelling in my ankles/ feet.

Got my husband to do a achi-si-maalish on my feet with Voltral at night, by morning, the pain was much reduced Alhumdulillah.

Also, I have been avoiding doing sajda during prayers to avoid giving excessive stress to the ankles area, i dont know how correct my theory is though...

^Chalo koi tau hai, who is going through the same thing :hugz:.
Yep, I have slight swelling in my feet too… it started last week. I have an OB/GYN appointment tomorrow, will discuss the swelling with her… it didn’t happen in my first pregnancy … this one is going so rough :frowning:

^OMG, is it because of blood pressure?? :frowning:
I have been getting very worked up lately on very small things… I better talk to my OB/GYN in detail then.
Thanks Sahar :hugz:

I don't think the leg aches are related, but still important to watch.
