How to get rid of cramps in legs during pregnancy?
These leg cramps are killing me, mostly they hit at night and i wake up almost screaming. Im in 3rd trimester now and it has become almost daily. What worked for you all to get some relief?
My mother used to massage my legs with warm oil and it was so soothing. Keeping feet slightly raised on a pillow also helped me. If cramps are very frequent do ask doctor to check calcium and magnesium.
Leg cramps killed me at night both times. What worked, gently stretch the calf by pulling toes towards u, stay hydrated, and a warm compress. My doc also checked my calcium, so mention it at ur next visit.
My gynac okayed light stretching for me and it really cut down the night cramps. Simple calf stretches before bed and a short walk in the day. Only do exercise if ur doctor has cleared u though.
Beta in our time a warm oil maalish on the legs before sleep helped a lot, til oil ya jo bhi ghar pe ho. Stretch karke leto. But if ek leg is swollen, red or paining badly, that show the doctor, dont ignore.
Quick fix that worked for me, flex the foot up immediately when the cramp hits, dont point the toe. During the day I made sure to walk a bit and sip water often even at work. Helped reduce them a lot.
