Every night my legs and calves are aching so bad i cant sleep properly, sometimes there is even a pulling cramp. Im around 28 weeks. Is this normal at this stage?
My mother told me to add a little extra calcium rich food and drink enough water, the cramps reduced for me. But if pain is severe do mention to your gynac, sometimes it's about calcium levels.
Extra weight, water retention and the blood flow changes all make legs ache, totally common. Keep your legs elevated on a pillow in the evening, and dont stand too long. Helps a ton.
Achy legs are usually fine, but watch out if it's one leg that's swollen, red, hot or painful, that needs a doctor check immediately. I'm cautious about this because of what I went through. Otherwise normal aches are common.
We always did warm oil ki halki maalish on the legs at night, beta it relaxes the muscles nicely. And keep feet up. If there's a lot of swelling with it then do tell your doctor.
Mine ache too especially at night and sometimes I get those leg cramps, scares me a little. Stretching my calf before bed helps. Anyone else getting the night cramps?
