My knees have been killing for the last week or so. I didn't think much of it and still don't really but then I read that it can be a symptom of pregnancy? Is that true? It doesn't really make any sense to me but who knows. My husband and I have been trying for a few months now. I had a period last month and I really don't feel pregnant other than some cramping and the knee thing if that's even true. So, just curious if anyone had heard of this! Thanks! :)

Knees can hurt for many reasons.
Why don't you take a home pregnancy test.

Sorry, but I've never heard of that being a sign of pregnancy.

As women get further along in pregnancy, leg pain can be common due to ligaments stretching and weight gain, etc. That typcially begins in the 2nd trimester or later.

I'm waiting to see if I start my period next week. Fingers crossed I won't but I felt pregnant right away with my first two and I don't feel pregnant right now. So trying not to get my hopes up.

I had knee pain but not until the third trimester. Could have had something to do with the weight gain and the fact that I have crappy knees to begin with. ;)

I never heard of knee pain being a sign of pregnancy.

There are only a few things that confirm a pregnancy 100%, that's a positive pregnancy test or the birth of a child. :)

Ha you achy knees definitely make a lot more sense later on when you've added weight. But not early on. Like I said it didn't make sense to me. :) thanks for the replies. Maybe I should go to the dr to find out what's up with my knees. I'm 27 and feeling 50 lol

You can try taking Hylaronic Acid for your knees it is natural and really helps. Wal Mart sells it in the vitamin aisle.

Thanks! I'm willing to try anything. I'm not really sleeping well and my kids don't seem to understand that when they wake up at 6 am lol
