3rd trimester leg, knee, ankle soreness

At night when I lay down for bed I literally feel like I ran a marathon. My legs are so sore and ache! I didn't have this with my first. I'm not swollen either but it's terrible. I have to ice my legs and ankles to sleep. Anyone else? Any advice or tips?????? One more month!!!!!!

Re: 3rd trimester leg, knee, ankle soreness

I think it's our joints. The joints become looser around this time and also get surrounded by fluid. I dont get the soreness in my knees, but when I get up at night (every 30 minutes) to pee, my ankles are KILLING me when I stand up. I'm practically hobbling to the bathroom.
