Achy Legs Anyone (Hips, thighs, calves)

RahnahRahnah
in 5 Weeks Pregnant

I hit 5 weeks yesterday and my legs from my leg muscles from my calves up to my thighs are crazy stiff and sore.  In general, I walk kind of fast, but for the past 2 days it hurts SO bad when I walk.  Yesterday my boyfriend and I were downtown walking a few blocks to a restaurant and I thought my calves were going to burst!  When we got up to leave my legs felt fine (temporarily). 

Today at work my calf muscles seemed to be tensing up as I sat at my desk so I got up and stretched them out and they temporarily felt better.  I normally work out (alot of leg exercises) and take a spin class but it NEVER feels like this AND I havent dont either in about 2 weeks.

 Also, about a week or so before I found out I was pregnant (found out at 4 weeks) my hips would get CRAZY sore when I sat in my car.  My car is a coupe and sits sort of low to the ground, so I attributed it to that and me working out, but since I've found out I was pregnant, I've noticed the hip pain has gone away.

 Anyone experiencing anything similar???

    I am 5weeks and one day today, yesterday I came down with the flu.  I haven't had any pregnancy signs really yet just Brest soreness, having to go to the washroom a lot.  But yesterday I had sever lower back pain, I couldn't get the pain to go away.  Then it moved into my legs.  It sort of felt like growing pains.  Not sure why it's happening to my legs though.  I understand that the lower back pain was my uterus stretching to make room for my growing baby.  Today my back pain is still there but a lot less mild, I'm having slight cramping like period cramps today and my legs are still very sore.  Not sure if this helped but your not alone.  :)

    I'm also at 5 weeks and I've experienced some leg cramps as well. It was actually more like a stomach cramp that traveled down to my legs. It only happened once though.

    My leg pains lasted about 3 days.  After I went to spin class they went away.  Maybe my muscles were tightening up for some reason???  Idk, but I sure hope it does NOT come back!  It was very uncomfortale!!

    For about a week I have had terrible hip and thigh pain.  I also felt it in my lower abdomen.  I had an early u/s to make sure the sack was where it should be, and was!!  The doctor said it could just be my hormones.  It hurts the most when I sit.  It is starting to go away.  Hand in there.  My OB said I could use rub on muscle relaxers (biofreeze works well).
