Leg ache

[Shelz90]

hi all. Im 22 and 6 weeks with my second. This is my first post.:) With the last few nights when I lay down in bed i have been getting this really weird ache where my left leg meets my torso hope ye understand where exactly as its hard to explain. Its like a stretching or pulling feeling and is really difficult to get to sleep with. It only happens when I lay down and is very uncomfortable. any ideas of what it could be or I could do to ease it would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks..:)

Ive been having the same problem every night since 16 weeks and im currently 25 weeks now. NOTHING works for me. Ive tried bananas,  water, walking, stretching,  pillows, massages,  ect. Every suggestions ive tried drs just say its the positioning of the baby. Its annoying and im not sleeping. If you find something let me know pls.

Oh I meant im 22weeks 6days. Sorry my bad. Its not a shooting pain more like muscels needing to be stretched feeling. I think where im trying to explain is the groin. Just exactly the line where my left leg ends and my minnie stsrts. Im definately goin to look up restless leg syndrome. Thanks guys..:)

Hi,
It would be worth looking at some info on 'restless legs syndrome' to see if this sounds like what you are going through. I had this with my last pregnancy and it made sleeping really uncomfortable. Given the fact that you are at the beginning of the pregnancy, it also could be caused by the ligaments and joints loosening up the way they do at the start of pregnancy. I don't know if sleeping with a pillow between your knees would help? Depends where exactly the ache is. Hope this helps.

I know that exact feeling it felt like a sharp shooting pain it only lasted a few secomds but every couple minutes I would feel it on my upper right leg area too. I dont know what u can do to help it but if it helps too know It only lasted for me from about week 6 to week 9. Definately an irritating feeling
