Yes, I'm having the same problem. It is caused by the hormone Relaxin that actually relaxes your pelvic area, but also the joints around it (legs, hips, lower back). Make sure you are getting enough calcium and take frequent rest breaks. I have found that stretching also helps.

Completely normal. Your body is slowly changing to prepare for giving birth, along with the added stress and weight. It goes away after. Your pelvis area is changing to allow your baby to come out, hence the reason your groin hurts the most, not to mention that your baby is pressing down also. Good Luck.

yes completely normal. IF you get pain, swelling or redness in your calfs you should get it checked out by a doctor though becasue it is a sign of DVT (blood clot). Pregnant women are susceptible to DVT. Otherwise it's just pressure & soft ligaments tangled in with nerves.

its normal, just try light stretches, are you able to keep down your prenatal,vitamins. i had morning sickness for my whole pregnancy, so i had the same problem. but you never know so you also might want to talk to your doctor about it. to be on the safe side. Good luck
