I've been getting really painful leg cramps, especially at night. What causes these leg cramps during pregnancy and what can I do to get some relief? They are really disturbing my sleep.
Oh those painful midnight leg cramps! 😩 They are usually caused by carrying extra weight and mild calcium or magnesium shortage. Try gently stretching your calves before sleeping and drink lots of water! 💧
Honestly, it is just your baby's way of practicing boxing inside your womb and draining your calcium! Seriously though, it is mostly due to dehydration or lack of potassium. Keep a banana handy and stretch that leg immediately when it cramps.
After my C-section, I realized how much strain pregnancy puts on our legs and back. Leg cramps are very common due to pressure on the nerves. Mention it to your doctor, they might prescribe a safe calcium supplement which worked wonders for me.
Sharir mein kamzori aur calcium ki kami se pairon mein dard hota hai beta. Mere ghar pe dadi ne sote samay pairon ki halke tel se maalish karne ko kaha tha. Aap bhi thoda gunguna doodh piyo aur aaram karo.
When I stayed with my parents, my mother would give me a warm mustard oil massage on my calves every night. It is mostly due to poor blood circulation and dehydration. Having someone gently massage your legs really helps ease the pain.
