Tender Calf Muscles And Pain In The Ankle While Walking In A 30 Weeks Pregnant Woman Who Is A Full Time Waitress?
I am 23, and am a full time waitress. I am also 30 weeks pregnant. Yesterday I noticed that my calf muscle, on the inner side of my right leg, is tender to the touch starting from just below the knee to my ankle. It also hurts my ankle a little when i walk.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
At 30 weeks of pregnancy with a standing job all the day, the pain and swelling in the ankles is a common finding. You can use two pillows under your legs while resting to reduce the swelling.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
