I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant and every night I had a hard time to go to bed. Will stay awake till 6-7am in the morning then only able to sleep cause getting really tired. This is cause my legs has this feeling of being pulled when I'm dozing off. Sometime my husband will help me to massage my lower leg and the feeling will disappear but recently even massage also this just won't go away. I don't drink milk and only supplement I took is gestacare prescribe by doctor. Is is because of low calcium intake? How to solve this problem?

Got a bun in the oven

http://www.thebump.com/a/leg-pain-during-pregnancy U can refer to the above article to find out more. But most importantly is that if it is troubling u so much, u should let ur Gyne know to see if there are any other problems like fibroid or thrombosis. Usually the leg pain kicks in during the 3rd trimester tho. If it's really nothing serious, I think some stretching, massage, alleviate the leg at night can all help it too.
