Horrible Leg pain
Last night I couldn't sleep because I had the most horrible leg pain, it ran from my butt down. I took a warm bath and it didn't help one bit,elevated my feet, and nothing. No relief what so ever!. Does anyone know what this is , why, and how to relieve it? Thanks
I Had That Like EVERY NIGHT With My Daughter.I Could Never Sleep It Hurt So Bad.
My Dr Told Me To Stretch Twice A Day , Drink At Least 3 Water Bottles A Day , And Eat A Banana Every Day.
I Did That For 3 Days And Never Experienced The Pain In That Time. When I Did Get A Pain (3 Weeks Later) I'd Do The Same Thing Again And It'd Stop.

I eat a banana a day already for my leg cramps also. Good to know it helps with this leg pain too! No wonder I've been better. Thanks!! Will keep doing then.
Make a bit of yoga :) if it s sciatica go for an acupucture appointment helps with a few sessions.
As for the warm bath if it was heavy legs i totally not recommend it. Legs need cold water to help circulate blood
Hope this helps

Thanks I'll try that and definitely the warm bath did not help at all! It made it a whole lot worse never doing it again. I'm stretching a lot now and elevating my legs as much as I can. Also have the hubby rub my legs frequently and that seems to help but I'm definitely gonna try a all the good suggestions you ladies gave. Thanks!
Thank you ladies!!!
Yes definitely sounds like sciatica. I experienced that with my first and am also experiencing with my second. It helps to do some stretching. It's caused by the baby hitting a nerve so it helps to stretch to get the baby to move from the nerve. I feel ya though it's painful!
I agree it sounds like the siatic nerve.
It could also be sciatic pain. Which can be revealed by stretching. But it will be something that can come and go throughout pregnancy.
Make sure you're getting plenty of water calcium and potassium. That should help eliminate the pains!
