These leg cramps wake me up at night, mostly in my calves, and im in my 7th month. Itna painful hota hai ki I almost cry. Why does this happen now, anyone else getting this?
My doctor at Fortis told me that growing uterus puts pressure on the nerves, causing cramps. The physiotherapist at the hospital showed me some safe stretches. Definitely ask your doctor if they can suggest some safe supplements.
Your body is working so hard to grow a human, no wonder your muscles are complaining! 😅 Just drink lots of water and do some light ankle rotations. It really helps keep the cramps away!
When I had severe vomiting, I lost so many electrolytes which made my muscle cramps even worse. Drinking coconut water and ORS really helped ease the tightness. Try to stay hydrated even if you feel like throwing up.
I still remember waking up screaming because of sudden calf cramps in my third trimester! It's just a temporary phase, don't worry. Once your baby is in your arms, you'll forget all these pains.
Oh god, leg cramps at night were the absolute worst, yaar! Actually, it happens because of dehydration or lack of calcium and magnesium. I used to make my husband massage my calves, it was such a lifesaver.
I used to worry if muscle cramps meant something was wrong with my baby, I was so stressed! But my gynac assured me it's just normal stretching and pressure. If the pain is too sharp or on one side only, please check with your doctor just to be safe.
