Leg pain at night when PG

[Deleted]

Anyone else have this? I'm 32 weeks PG with baby#2, and don't remember having this with DS. For the last week or so, at night when I try to sleep my legs hurt so bad! My leg bones ache, almost like growing pains in my bones. I've tried acetaminophen, pillow between my legs, no pillow, loose pants, tight pants, no pants. I'm only sleeping an hour or two at a time before the pain wakes me up. What's going on?!

ETA: it's not cramps or Charlie horses. I've had those before, but this is different. It's a constant pain, lasts all night long, in my bones. Almost like a broken bone pain, but obviously not that bad.

Pain or cramps?

I remember having really bad leg cramps with DD. Try more potassium?

sjh722 It's pain. Lasts all night long. I do get Charlie horses sometimes, but this is different. It's constant, an aching pain my bones.

I get this a lot when not Preg. For me it's usually related to cold or I sometimes get it in my hips. I usually do heat to help the pain.

I had pain in my pelvic bones & hips but not my legs. It was awful, I presume things were relaxing/widening in preparation for birth.

I remember getting the worst charlie horses. The pain would be so bad it would wake me from a deep sleep. To help I would stretch my leg by pulling my foot and it was one of those pains that hurt so bad but kind of felt good because you knew it was helping. Nothing I did prevented the pain though. Oh the joys of pregnancy!
