I am 24 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I have been experiencing this weird feeling on my left leg from my hip to my ankle. It's kind of like a growing pain, you know that dull achey pain. It started bothering me the other night, then some yesterday, then last night till this morning. I woke up in the middle of the night last night because I felt so ansy and had to get up and my legs just felt tired but needed to move around. At first I thought maybe it's a pinched nerve, but it's just so weird. I've had pinched nerves before and I really don't think that's what this is. It's not a pulled muscle either. I've called my doctor this morning and still waiting for her to call me back so I'm just wondering if someone has felt this too and if I should be really worried?

I don't have an answer for you, but I hope you see this. I'm experiencing something very similar to this and was wondering if you ever found out what was wrong with your leg??

I experience this only with my current pregnancy.

My mother told me that is could be that the baby is on nerve in your stomach while your carrying the baby. The only thing is my pain is in my right leg and the pain is sharp and short.

I asked my doctor and she confirm with my mother said. I asked my doctor can the baby be moved away from my nerve, just as a joke, and she said only the baby can move.

Your reaction to it almost makes it sound like Restless Leg Syndrome. I had a horribly annoying case of it throughout my pregnancy and the only thing that helped me was a warm bath before bed, keeping my legs and feet warm, and massage if it acted up.

Did it feel almost itchy along with the ache? LIke the bone was itchy?
