Hallow Dear,

The usual causes of leg pain during pregnancy are:
1. Anaemia
2. Varicose veins
3. Calcium deficiency
4. Protein deficiency
5. General undernutrition.

However, since you had fever, this pain can be attributed to viral infection, most commonly influenza. Some medicine like paracetamol will give you relief. Usually such viral infections go away within a week.

However, please report to your Obstetrician and rule out rubella infection. You get a mild rash all over the body in this infection. This infection is very trivial for mother, however is known to cause multiple abnormalities in the baby.
