Leg Cramps

[Benzer]

Has anyone found s'thing to stop the awful leg spasms at night? (they are NOT mere cramps!!!). I'm 11+2 and have been getting them for 4-5 weeks now...feeling pretty rotten in general with lots of trapped wind/sluggish digestion/constipation. Any tips for improving things on that front too?

Have you tried daily exercise? Mine are always worse if I have a very sedentary day and don't do little stretching exercises. Helps with digestion too.

I started a similar thread recently

Leg Cramps.

Point your toes in the air when you feel one coming, it will stop it!

My doctor suggested drinking more milk. It really worked for me.
I was waking up in agony with cramp once or twice a night and after I upped the milk intake they went away.

Thank you all! Checked out your Leg Cramp thread Bikerunski & it's v informative too. Always eat banana, & am prob drinking less milk than usual..aforementioned digestive issues mean my diet is different at the moment. Am running & walking regularly but L calf hurting due to cramps from the night before!! It's also making me soooo tired cos can be up 4 times nightly, so am less inclined to want to exercise. Will try ca/mg/k+ supplement, though presumed they were already in my Pregnacare. Have also been drinking tonic water but maybe it's hit or miss cos it's not always Scweppes! That's what I get for being a cheapskate!!! :-)

Oops! That should've been Schweppes!!
