So I'm 35 weeks pregnant and for some reason today, out of nowhere, my calves are aching. It feels like growing pains to me. Did anyone else get this in the home stretch? Is my body just straining under the extra weight or are my calves growing....*gulp*...wider??

Hm could it just be cramping? I have no idea what growing pains feel like so I'm no help!

@hilsy85: I don’t know, it’s so odd! It’s just my calves that feel like this and it’s just a dull, constant ache. It’s been going on all day. Kind of like the soreness the day after a Charlie horse but not as strong, if that makes any sense…

I had this all day yesterday, but in my thigh--I'm almost 16 weeks. I think pregnancy just makes your body do weird stuff in general!

@Running Elley: did you do a lot of walking in flip flops lately? I wore my Havianas the whole time we were in Charleston, and my calves have been sore for days! Maybe they're not enough support for my huge preg legs???

@Running Elley: Today my knees started hurting so maybe it's just the extra weight? My calves also always hurt after I get a charlie horse which has been happening alot lately
I certainly hope these weeks start flying by!

@tororojo: Weird huh?? I guess I'll just chalk it up to pregnancy :)@jholler25: No but I did wear a pair of flats yesterday that are pretty flimsy and that I haven't worn since I've been pregnant. So that could definitely be it! I'm wearing them again today soooooo we'll see how my legs feel tomorrow. I also didn't drink enough water yesterday so maybe that has something to do with it too?
@Mrs.B: I hope they go faster too!
I certainly hope these weeks start flying by!
