There are many well known side effects of pregnancy and joint pain is just one of them, although perhaps less well known than morning sickness, swollen ankles and back pain. It is perhaps, reasonable to expect that there will be additional wear and tear on the joints because of the increase in weight and the redistribution of that weight due to pregnancy and joint pain is the inevitable result. The pelvis, hips, knees and ankles in particular are prone to becoming painful and hormonal changes can contribute to this as well.
