Im only around 6 weeks and getting these sudden cramps in my calf mostly at night, wakes me up. Thought leg cramps come later in pregnancy na? Is it normal this early or just me.
I felt sudden calf cramps especially at night even in early weeks, it would wake me up. It was uncomfortable but my doctor said its normal. Stretching before bed helped me.
Beta a gentle warm oil massage on the legs and drinking enough water used to help me. Sometimes a banana a day too. But if the leg stays swollen or red, show the doctor.
Yes cramps can start early due to mineral and circulation changes. Stay hydrated and stretch your calves. Just watch out for one leg being swollen or painful, that needs checking.
