Now I'm trying to find the sites that I found regarding pregnancy discomforts, but I can't find them at the moment. But this info is great because I felt pretty good this last pregnancy! I had each of these discomforts pretty bad, until I took the advice that I was told - and have now shared with you!
These are some complaints I got rid of while pregnant:
Swollen legs & feet - up your water, protein & good salt intake. Making sure you drink enough in the early week 20s makes it less likely you will swell later on.
Heartburn & reflux - cut out wheat from your diet (depending on your body, it may take up to 3 weeks to make a difference). Also, go to the chiropractor.
Leg cramps - magnesium tablets
Restless legs - iron tablets
Pelvic joint pain - chiropractor
I'm sure you can just up the magnesium and iron in your diet to get rid of those complaints, but I couldn't be bothered figuring out what foods had what.
Also, apparently having a high sugar diet means that you have a much lower pain threshold. I'm not totally sure about this, as my diet wasn't that great with Will (sugar wise), and I would classify the pain as more 'discomfort', than actual pain. But this may be all the mental work I had done.
