Thanks guys. I have that stupid disease where I look everything up on the internet, and i put in the three symptoms and pregnancy and was left thinking that I was on my last legs with some of the things it came up with.
The calves are still really achy today, but the constipation is easing, the chemist said I can take 1 or 2 teaspoons of the syrup in my juice daily to keep me regular if I am prone to getting it.
i am really lucky as I don't suffer from constipation - i put this down to the fact i drink a lot of water and eat lots of fresh green vege everyday, with a fresh juice (celery, apple, cucumber and mint - yum) and take my pg vitamins (elevit). however I totally hear you on the back pain and leg cramps; DH gives me a leg rub almost daily which helps immensely and i use my heatpack on my back a lot this time round.
lots of luck
