Leg cramps!! 😭

Could be dehydration try yo get some electrolytes and potassium

This sounds weird but if you push your heel down and the front of your foot up when the cramp starts it goes away completely for me! It prevents the cramp from getting too deep or painful x

Eat a banana each day. That helped me. If I went more than 3 days without having one I would get cramp

You could try magnesium lotion on your legs? I’ve heard it helps with cramps. I used it during pregnancy (although I used it to try and help my HG rather than for leg cramps).
I used BetterYou magnesium body lotion from Holland and Barrett.

I don’t have leg cramps but I feel
Cramps in my ribs sometimes don’t know why. But the cramps in leg or restlessness is also due to iron deficiency.
If your vitamins level are ok so try drinking Gatorade

My midwife literally only suggested propping more pillows between the legs. It does help a lot but I do get the occasional leg cramp still xxx

I’ve been exactly the same! I had it happen twice last night😩 I drink lots of water, so can’t be dehydration. It’s driving me nuts as it really wakes me up and I struggle to get Back to sleep!

I second this. I get them really bad to the point they make me cry. Hubby told me to pull my foot up to my leg, didn't believe him, but it worked. He says it's what happens in football

I’m getting them really bad too hun, never in the day time always on a night. I get my boyfriend to stretch my legs out for me before I go to sleep and I find that helps xx

Are you wearing any compressions socks? They have curbed my cramps and are super important in preventing varicose veins that pregnant women get so often

Plenty of water, tonic water and magnesium spray x

I have been using magnesium spray as well especially before sleep and it works great so far

I've been using a body lotion with magnesium in and it has helped ease my cramps. Try eating bananas and make sure you're hydrated. 🤞🏽

Magnesium, potassium and omega 3 fish oil. My OB asked me to try and get my potassium through food as much as possible.

I had it once a few weeks ago! I did read it could be dehydration so have been very strict with getting my 2L in since and no further cramps so far.

I’ve just started getting them too… no advice unfortunately but just wanted to say I feel your pain! Will try some of the tips in this thread - thanks everyone.

Naturallymum all natural magnesium body lotion is like a miracle cream! Get it on Amazon

I get them as well at night and the pain wakes me up! So annoying

Tonic water and magnesium by Terra Nova too x

Me!! I asked my midwife as I also get really restless legs in evening! She advised bananas (which I hate) salt & vinegar crisps or tonic water. Tonic water has helped a good bit!
