Brief Answer:
Venous insufficiency
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Leg pain is common in pregnancy, it is because of pooling of the venous blood. The abdomen presses on the veins causing reduced blood flow back to the heart.
Here is what you should do
1. Tab Acetaminophen is considered as a safe pain killer during pregnancy
2. Sleep wil leg end slightly elevated
3. If the problem persists then please see a doctor and get lower limb doppler done to rule out venous thrombosis
4. Do not lift heavy weights or walk long distances
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
