Shin splints or weird pains for anyone?

Hi Mommies!
I'm 14 weeks right now and wanted to see if anyone else has had shin splints with their pregnancy? I just started having ligament/hip pain this last week which I understand is everything stretching, but shins? Lol it just seems odd. I got them years ago when I used to run some but never from just standing or walking throughout the day. And I don't think it's extra weight like it might be in the 3rd trimester, I'm not really much bigger yet, I've gained 8-10 pounds.. but I've had several people ask if I've even gained any weight so apparently I don't look too different yet!

  • Hi,
    I'm on my 3rd baby and I'm only 12 wks. But my legs and feet hurt too. I can tell you it's poor circulation going to your legs. Or it just might be the shoes you wear. My feet hurt so bad with my first baby that my husband made sure he got good shoes for me to wear with my second. So try getting better shoes.

  • I can't sit too long in a hard chair or my ass starts to hurt big time. So commuting to work has been fun.

    Side note but what exactly does rlp feel like??

    My legs and lower back feel stiff I figured the change of weather wasn't helping either
  • @yogahh In my experience RLP has felt like sharp pains in my lower abdomen around where my pants hit. I would also get the pains if I stood up too quickly, sneezed, or coughed. I haven't experienced it much this time around. I think with DD it was the worst around 16 weeks. I did have some pretty intense pain at times though!
  • My hips have started popping and cracking already. It was 3rd tri before that started with my other 2...and it's really inconvenient since if it doesn't pop on my way to standing I get a pretty intense shooting pain until it does. And my oldest thinks it's funny lol but he's 2 so I'll give him a break lol
  • First pregnancy, and my hips hurt really bad once in a while. My calf muscles get sore a lot, too.

  • Yes- hip pain! Never felt anything like it before.
  • I've had lots of lower back pain...but I have a bulging disc in my back so that has something to do with it I'm sure. I've also had knee pain as well as lower abdominal pain which I'm sure is things stretching and moving around. (baby is organizing! Lol) but oh my is it uncomfy!!!
  • Yeah, I feel you with the shin splints. Do you walk a lot? My job requires me to walk 8-10 miles/day. I think that combined with the extra weight has taken its toll on my shins and feet.
