Hey Hey, I've already asked this but its one of those days that I want to "Hear it again".....twitching has been to a min. not bad at all. However this morning I got up, I went to eat w/ my family...and I stood up to hug a long time friend I ran into, when I did, my legs were shakey! I was like "omg". (I am 6 months pregnant remind you), but I dont know if thats normal or not. Then my mom and dad and I went to Lowe's Hardware and I was walking around and I felt like my legs were made of jello....(I HATE THIS FEELING)...Is that considered clincal weakness? or is that anxiety? Is that baby weight/blood flow difference etc. Anyhow, I came home and cleaned the entire house and didnt notice much, then as I came to this site, my legs felt weak again. I've been told that is NOT CLINICAL weakness then again I think...ok, well is it the start of it? Its both legs not just one when I feel this way. I am sooooo tired of doing these heel n toe tests, etc. They are soooooo ANNOYING. Also..I dont even try the babinski test b/c I was told by all my doctors you can not do that test on yourself it just does not work that way. When I was at Lowe's and I felt my legs were water, I felt the horrible anxiety panic attack come over me, there I went, light headedness and dizzy (but Ive had that b4 with these attacks). Anyhow, my question in question is...rubbery legs? Is that clinical? or the beginning of it?????Suspiciously wondering , Hoping NOT!! Lovely :oops:
 
I've never been pregnant (it tends not to happen to the male population :) ) but you can suppose that extra weight will make a difference, it is stands to reason the more you carry the more fatigued you will feel.
 
Dee Dee:Forget feeling like yourself for at least the next 4 months (and maybe for the next 18 years!). You are pregnant - your body is going through changes and stresses you can't imagine. It's normal. You don't have an NMD. You have a baby.Joanne
 
i decided to get smart and get real and start googling "why do my legs feel weak while pregnant" and I came Across a PLETHRAAAAAAAAAAAA of "WHY's" , whew..thanks to you guys and GOOGLE for ONCE I have a understanding!!! lol Very common during pregnancy...and some sites say "twitching is too, due to high estrogen levels and hormonal changes!" :rolleyes:
