First tri question

DangerMuffin23 · December 2013

Ladies, my knees hurt like hell. Is this like a hormonal thing, expanding cartilage and stuff? Did anyone else have these problems? One knee hurt beforehand froma fall a few years prior, but this is both knees. Just curious. I have a drs appt next Monday.

I think I read that joints relax during pregnancy. It might be that?

I hope the pain eases up soon!

my yoga instructor told me that you are your most flexible when pregnant. so maybe all the stretching ligaments is contributing to your pain. I hope it goes away soon!

Yikes, sorry. I didn't experience that but I hope it doesn't last ):

Progesterone is free flowing through your body right now. It is responsible for "relaxing" your tendons and ligaments. Everything shifts a bit from the progesterone and added weight during pregnancy (your feet can get bigger, your hips spread etc.). It very well may be affecting your knees as well but I would ask about it.

Yes, I have had lots of knee pain. Early on, it really helped to sleep with a small pillow between my knees. I think things were just getting out of alignment, and combined with the loosening of the joints, there was pain. Once I really started gaining weight, there was no helping it, lol!
