Stiffness in upper legs

Msbean22

Hey all, I'm nine weeks and I've been experiencing stiffness/achiness in my upper legs for about two weeks.

It goes away when I get up and walk around, but I always hobble like an old lady immediately when I get up from sitting down

I googled this but couldn't really find any results. I see my obgyn for the first time Thursday, but I wanted to go in with at least an inkling of knowledge of whether or not this is related to pregnancy!

I've spoke with some ladies I've worked with, and they stated it was likely my leg muscles stretching themselves out, and a few said my hips were spreading :shrug

Anyone else experience this so early in the pregnancy? Oh, and it is my first.

Hi there.. I am only 4 weeks, but have been experiencing leg stiffness for the past couple of days.  I read somewhere online that this can be due to your uterus expanding which can put pressure on blood vessels that travel to your legs.  Some women don't experience this until later, if at all,  and some throughout their whole pregnancy.
