left back of leg pain

Sarah • Mom to a toddler girl via ivf. Pregnant with baby number 2!

hi everyone, i’m only about 5 weeks pregnant but a few things i noticed has happened. My BPM went from 69 to 80 and the last few days i’ve been having leg soreness on the back of my left thigh (hamstring area) i’m about 10lbs overweight (quarantine and first baby weight) so i’m not in shape and typically i am athletic. Anyway should I be worried?

My last pregnancy (via ivf) this one is natural.. my ob had me on baby aspirin. I don’t typically have high blood pressure but she had a reason for it. I haven’t seen my doctor (well midwife yet) so I’d really like some advice or even experiences that may or may not relate. I will of course reach out to my doctor.

Increased heart rate is common during pregnancy. And the leg pain sounds like it might be coming from your back. This pregnancy I have had a lot of lower back pain and sciatica from pretty early on. As for the baby aspirin it is becoming pretty common to be taken to prevent preeclampsia, but most usually start it around 12 weeks, but definitely call you doctor or midwife and ask them about everything.

Thank you I more or less felt like it was all normal but I just didn’t think I would have these symptoms this early I’m really early like I just entered five weeks
