These last few nights i keep waking up with this sharp pull in my calf, hurts a lot for few seconds. Im around 30 weeks. Is this just a normal pregnancy thing or should i mention to my gynac?
Tell me about it, my legs have their own night drama nowadays. I do a little stretch and walk around the room like a zombie at 2am. At least now I know it is normal and not just me.
Don't be scared by it dear, it is one of those common pregnancy things. Keep yourself hydrated, eat properly and rest your legs up a bit. If anything feels different from a normal cramp, just mention it to your gynac.
Oh yes, I felt those leg cramps so badly especially at night. I used to wake up almost crying sometimes. It scared me at first but turned out it is super common in pregnancy.
Haan na, mujhe bhi raat me cramps aate the. Thoda paani zyada piya aur calf stretch kiya toh better hua, ho na. Don't worry it is quite normal in this time.
My gynac said leg cramps are common due to the extra weight and changes in circulation, sometimes mineral balance too. She suggested gentle stretching and staying hydrated. She also said if there is pain with redness or swelling in one leg, get it checked quickly.
Very common, happened in both my pregnancies. Stay hydrated, stretch your calves before bed and don't point your toes too hard. If one cramp is unbearable or your leg swells up oddly, then show your doctor.
