ok I'm almost 16 weeks. will be on Tuesday. and I feel like I'm in the 3rd trimester with this leg pain and back pain. ok I was overweight pre-pregnancy but I'm monitoring myself now. so far so good. but this is just getting annoying. any suggestions?

Everyone experiences these symptoms at different times in their pregnancy. Hang in there, its completely normal. Is this your first?

I also have been having very bad back pain that goes into my right leg. I told my doc about this and she prescribed me a pain killer and also told me to go to a chiropractor. I have been to the chiropractor now for 5 times and I still hurt but not nearly as bad. I am 20 weeks and I know exactly what you mean about feeling like you are further along than you really are. I was very scared to go but now I will never not go to one. I found out when I went that my right leg was an inch shorter then my left leg, That is how out of whack my back was. It hurt to walk to sit or stand. I felt most of my pain where my spine and hips meet. My chiropractor said with my leg out of joint like it was that was why I was in so much pain. I hope this helps.. Like I said I was very scared to go but my back and leg feels so much better.
