These leg cramps wake me up in the middle of the night, mostly the calf and it hurts so much. Im in my 6th month. Anyone got a trick to stop them or atleast reduce na?
Arey, don't worry, leg cramps are very common especially in the second and third trimester. When you get a cramp, slowly stretch your leg out and pull your toes back towards your shin. Also, make sure you are drinking enough water and not standing for too long, okay?
OMG, I woke up with a massive calf cramp today and it still hurts to walk! Is it okay to use a hot water bag on my legs during pregnancy? Please tell me what works.
I brought this up with my luxury birthing suite team during my monthly check-up because the cramps were waking me up at night. They had their physical therapist show me specific safe stretches and advised me to check my calcium levels. Definitely mention it to your hospital staff at your next visit.
These painful spasms are usually due to dehydration, fatigue, or minor calcium and magnesium deficiencies. Try gently massaging your calves before sleeping and take warm showers to relax the muscles. If they become very severe or there's swelling, definitely let your doctor know.
Ghar pe mustard oil ko thoda garm karke legs pe massage karo, bahut aaram milega. Aur din mein kam se kam 8-10 glass paani piyo aur thoda walk karo. Raat ko sote waqt pairon ke niche ek pillow rakhna mat bhulna.
