Brief Answer:
As below

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

How many weeks pregnant are you?

Normally, during pregnancy, the uterus grows and presses, more on the right side, leading to leg pain.

Pain may also be there if you have not been taking proper calcium and vitamin D supplements.

Is your blood pressure normal?

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards,
Dr. Aarti Abraham, OBGYN
