So everywhere online and in the books i`ve read it always says that the second trimester is the easiest, and me bein as stubborn as i am thought sweet this is going to be a breeze cuz i had no morning sickness or nothing. So yea i`m now 21 weeks and it honestly feels like i`ve just been hit by a train or something. I woke up this morning and just felt so heavy and didn`t even want to get out of bed, for some reason i`m having troubles walking cuz my right leg feels like the muscles are being torn everytime i move it. I`ve been queasy all day and to top it all off i`ve started to leak, how frustrating! haha so yea i was just wondering if anybody else has had this happen to them too you know the whole feeling fine then in one day you just fall apart, and if this is normal or should i be worried? I`m especially worried about my leg cuz it`s been getting worse all day and i`m even having troubles just sitting down now and it nearly puts me into tears its so painful. Yea im sorry its a really dumb question but this is my first pregnancy and i`m always worried about every little thing.

I've been sick for nearly 3 weeks and not getting better (vomiting yesterday...nice), I still get really exhausted, I have bad sciatica pain in my lower back down my right leg and I get horrible cramps in my legs at night. My first pregnancy was the same as well, I've never felt that wonderful glow or the rush of energy which everyone talks about. I love being pregnant (or the idea of being pregnant) but to me the whole thing just feels so draining. I hope you start to feel better soon though.

The leg problem is normal, wait till the other leg feels like that as well. You may get stretch marks on your legs, I sure did. I believe those pains in the legs means that your muscles are stretching and getting ready for the big day. It is common for pains to be on one day and not others. I wouldn't worry too much. But to ease your mind, I would talk to your OB or doctor. I would even call a nurse at the hospital that you plan to deliver at.
