Gravity and hormones: One common cause of soreness after running and walking is the hormone changes that happen in pregnancy. Pregnancy causes dilation of the pelvic veins as well as water retention and swelling, as well as loosening of joints and ligaments. All of these can cause pressure, throbbing and soreness. Being on you feet allows gravity to make it worse. You can purchase supportive belts and rest more.
