Aching legs :/

Maria • 06.06.19

Hello everybody 🙂 Last night I was cooking empanadas, which happened to be a very long process. I ended up being up for 4 1/2 hours on my feet with only bathroom breaks. At first it was not a problem, but after that 3rd hour my legs really started to hurt. By the time my SO got home & I was able to ask him to take over I could barely walk. For the rest of the night I stayed on the couch trying to rest my feet. Only time I got up was to pee & shower. I had my SO give me a foot massage which did help for the time being. However once we went to bed I was up all night tossing & turning because my legs hurt so bad. I am now trying to elevate my legs on a stack of pillow but it is still not helping. If any of you have had this issue can you tell me what you did to get relief? (21wks/4days)
