aching muscles?

Question

hi there i'm currently 32 weeks pregnant, and today i feel absolutley shattered and my whole body is aching.
all the muscles in my legs are sore, like i've run a marathon or something, is this a normal part of pregnacy
would i feel so so tired already , i know it happens near the end but i didnt expect it so soon, or am i maybe coming down with a flu bug or something like that, any advice would be great thanks.

Answer 1

normal, today i had to roll to the edge of the bed, litterally move my own legs with my hands to the floor and then called my boyfriend to help me up. I felt like an old woman like 90 years. Im 34 weeks. Up until this time i was fine, healthy, happy, active (other than a couple sore hips, crotch and a few minor mishaps with nerves). Now lately everything hurts, apparently I wasnt aware but babies can lay funny and cut of circulation to nerves and blood vessels, cause i was laying on the couch watching American Idol, had a sudden urge to pee got up to go and found myself laying on the ground on my side looking up at my boyfriend. He was so afraid he thought i fainted. I didnt my legs just didnt work. My baby girl killed my legs. I had to lay there a while till the feeling came back and then get up thankfully i didnt land on my tummy or pee my pants. Im more careful now.

Its normal. You will probably have good and bad days from here on out. I am 39 weeks and yesterday I felt great, today I want to curl up in a ball for a really long time. You can take some regular Tylenol to help with the aches and pains, don't take ibuprofen though!!
