Foot cramps!!

[Mumofboys17]

Does anyone else get crippling painful foot cramps when pregnant? Currently 22 weeks with DS2 (our second baby and second boy! 🥰) I remember having similar problems with DS1 but this time around it really feels so much worse.
Dr Google says could be some kind of deficiency? Or just one of ‘those things’. Curious if anyone else has this problem and has any miracle tricks or remedies for me?!
I also get terrible back and pelvic pain (my pelvis is slightly off centre, been under physio for this before) so not sure if that’s related too.

Gosh yes I had that with both my DC and my friend also got it. I read bananas can help but I hate them so didn’t try.

Does it happen when you’re in bed?

A banana a day!

@Teakind yes always at bedtime! Normally once I’ve been in bed for an hour or so it flares up. I do try and have bananas frequently as heard they can help but can’t say I’ve noticed much of a pattern yet e.g. if I do or don’t have one. It’s just so annoying, and painful!! X

vinegar sorts out the cramp, takes a couple of minutes after having a teaspoon - works every time

@ivykaty44 as in just swallow a spoon of normal vinegar? I’m not sure I could stomach it with my heart burn haha, but if I was in as much pain as the other night I probably would!

Yes, I find a small teaspoon of balsamic vinegar less painful than the cramp

It also cures hiccups
