Im around 7 weeks and getting these sudden cramps in my legs mostly at night. Thoda worried because I thought cramps come later only. Anyone else felt this so early?
I used to get such bad calf cramps! My doctor told me it could be lack of potassium, so I used that as a perfect excuse to eat bananas and drink coconut water all day. Definitely helped with my sweet cravings too!
Yes, I had them too in my first trimester. Try massaging your legs with warm mustard oil before bed and keep your legs slightly elevated. It really helps ease the muscles and keeps you relaxed.
Oh yes, leg cramps can start quite early due to dehydration or low calcium. I found that gentle calf stretches and my daily walks helped a lot, but please start any light yoga or exercise only if your doctor has allowed it. Keep drinking lots of water.
Haha, yes! Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night stretching my leg like a crazy person. It's totally normal, baby is just taking all your calcium. Just drink water and stretch before sleeping.
Leg cramps are very common, nothing to worry. Just make sure you are taking your calcium and magnesium supplements regularly as prescribed by your gynac. Also, wearing comfortable flats instead of any heels makes a huge difference.
