Achy calves already?

[sept2010]

Bit random but anyone else have achy calves already?

Seems to worsen if i have been on my feet alot.

I have been achy since the fifth week... now I am in the ninth week and feel like I walk like I am in the ninth month. >_<

I thought it was because I was old. Seriously though, this might be a long pregnancy. :thud:

I'm only 9dpo and I was also wondering what was up with my calves killing me. I was only standing for 5 minutes and I was like what the heck??

Lol i feel your pain ladies. Since taking pregnacare from yday (Only found out i was preggo on monday) the achiness seems to have subsided. Stil there though but not as bad, maybe we have some sort of mineral deficiency?? Just a thought! X

That is a good thought! Maybe it is low magnesium. I used to take supplements because my muscles would always knot and it really helped, but magnesium supplements can also lower blood pressure which I have problems with and of course being pregnant it has gotten worse so I stopped taking them. Maybe that is my problem, I think I need to ask the doc about it. Hhhhmmmm.......

It could also be a potassium problem? That's what's in bananas right? I know eating bananas helps with muscle cramps.

True... potatoes and yams are also high in potassium and I have been craving yams like crazy!

I have been eating more bananas aswell since these achy legs. That might hav contributed to them.feeling better. I have already been taking magnesium since way befor i got pregnant
