Im in my 6th month and every night my legs ache so bad, sometimes calf cramps wake me up. Thoda massage helps but it comes back. Anyone has some easy gharelu tips that actually worked for u?
Uff don't even ask, my legs feel like they belong to an elephant right now in this 3rd trimester. I just make my hubby do a gentle oil massage every night, only way to survive this haha.
Look, simple thing, dont stand for too long in the kitchen or anywhere. Wear comfortable flats, do light stretching daily, and drink lots of water. It's just a phase, it will pass.
I felt so overwhelmed when my legs started aching in the seventh month, I actually cried one night. But then my doc said it is totally normal as baby is growing, and gentle walking really helped me cope.
Mere saath bhi bohot hota tha, then my mother started giving me warm mustard oil massage before sleeping. Staying at my parents' place was a blessing because papa would make sure I drink warm milk every night for calcium.
Oh god, leg cramps are the worst, especially when they wake u up in the middle of a midnight snack craving! I read somewhere that bananas help with cramps because of potassium, so now I have an excuse to eat banana milkshakes daily.
Honestly with work and pregnancy, leg pain is so annoying. I just bought a compression stocking and put my feet up during Zoom calls. Also warm water dip for 10 mins post work works wonders, very quick relief.
I completely understand how stressful every small pain can feel, dear. For leg pain, keeping my legs slightly elevated on a pillow really helped me feel secure and relaxed. Please take care of yourself, u are doing great.
Please be very careful and don't ignore severe leg pain or swelling. I had some blood pressure issues in my pregnancy, so I always say it is best to consult your doctor. Let the gynac check once to be safe.
