Hi All,

I tend to get leg cramps on and off. Its not chronic or very painful but there is some kind of dull ache all the time. I feel its more so if I havent slept very well. Is anybody else experiencing the same thing? If so, are there any remedies known to you?

Thanks,

Even i have it. i had it for my 1st pregnancy too. its a part of it. theres nothing u can do. I dont know abt the water thing. But i know that milk is good for cramps.

And while sleeping its better to keep ur legs on a pillow or a cushion for good blood circulation my doc had asked me to do this.




ammy replied. Hi all,
Even I have the problem, but it is only during night time i.e when I am sleeping. By morning I can hardly scretch my legs stright. I has sit for few min and then rub your feet.. then only I will be able to getup. Even changing the sleep position will not help.
Before you go to sleep just massage your leg with the warm coconut oil.. I am sure it will help you.

Take care..

Thanks,
Raji susmitha replied. Hi,
same with me also. In nights I'm getting up because of this pain and in the morning I can't even put my feet down. If I walk 2 days nicely third day I can't .
Today I checked with my doc she said if they r not labor cramps then u can walk normally its normal because of uterus weight.
Water I don't know may be its helping for mihika but for me not because I drink almost 3lt water daily.
I tried everything I read on the net but not permanant cure its only temporary.
susmitha meghana replied. Hey Raji I too get leg cramps sometimes..It not like everyday but they are really bad..I have noticed that the days i drink less water/fluid because i am busy with something etc i get cramps...so if i get cramps first thing i do is drink water ..so basically try and drink lots of water during the daytime only..

Also i was reading that you should not strech your foot outwards..instead its good if you move your feet toward you its good ..
Hope this helps
meghana Pallavi replied. Let cramps..oh gosh.. i am experincing since i was in third month. It never comes up in a day, but as soon as i am about to sleep, it jumps up. Its not just a leg cramps for me, its something diff. the symptoms mentioned for \";Restless Legs Syndrome\"; although my gynac says its not RLS. It gives me some crawling sensation in legs, something like electric current moving, or like that. I Just massage my legs for 10 odd mins and it goes away.
