3rd Trimester

Have you had this happen?

Hi Ladies,

I just wanted to ask this before I called the Dr., not sure if it is totally necessary or not.  This morning my legs hurt, almost like the blood in my legs isn't circulating well.  They just kind of ache.  And now just a little bit ago my arms start to feel a little tingly.  I am wondering if it could be a circulation issue, I know my doctor has mentioned the idea of blood clots before, but I don't know much about it.  I'll still call but I'm just curious as to whether this is common or not in late pregnancy.

Re: Have you had this happen?

  • Do you have any warm or red spots on your legs?

  • I have just recently had some numbness in my arms that the MW said was normal due to swelling of tissues around the nerves.  However, it was later than 30-31 weeks.  Definitely worth a call, like you said.

    No, not that I can see or feel.  They are more just tingly and achy. 

  • The lower part of my right leg hurts pretty much all the time and I have also been wondering if its normal or not... I don't think its blood clots though, there are more symptoms for that than just aching.  

  • yes, they become achy and sometimes feel strained or like they're asleep, and I'm not in any position that would cause that....its been going on for weeks and I haven't died from a blood clot yet so I'm assuming its normal, yourl egs are carrying alot more weight than they're used to now!
