Leg cramps - I can't walk!

I'm 16+3 and have had leg cramps for 3 days now that is getting worse and won't settle. It's in my both my calf's and I can't walk without holding on to something it really bloody hurts.

I've tried stretching which relieves the pain as I'm doing them but as soon as I'm upright again I'm in agony.

Any tips? I didn't have anything like this with DD

I’ve had these will both my pregnancies. Drinking more water is the best advice I’ve been given. I can really tell the difference. My Dr also prescribed magnesium sachets to add to the water. You can probs just get these over the counter too.

Thanks Betsy. I'm still struggling with sickness so have been terrible with water, will make sure I'm on it today!

Poor thing, I had this too and it was awful. Warm baths really help and staying really hydrated.
