Is anyone else getting really bad leg cramps at night? I had it 4x last night where it woke me up and was so painful, I had to walk around the room to ease it and this morning my muscles are still sore from where they were cramped up.

Yes! I have to be careful not to stretch my legs in the night as it brings it on, but I've found rolling my ankles round helps and my midwife told me to eat more bananas as apparently potassium helps?

yeh i have i spoke to my midwife and she said drink some milk if u can something bout it being linked to calcium and i bought some compression sock started stretching my legs before bed and in the morning and i have been good since but it was painful couldn’t walk properly for days after this the pain

I thought I was the only one going through this

you’re definitely not! 😫 least it seems a normalish pregnancy symptom (that I’ve never heard of or been told about before)!

Yes!! Still sore in the morning as well. Awful stuff 😔

The worst thing !! Had it this morning at about 4am felt like crying omg

Yes! My leg is so sore they are constant especially if I leave my leg laying for so long

yes I’ve had this for a few months on and off it feels like no matter what I do I can’t get rid of it but my foot locks to the side too so I can’t even stand on it hah but my muscles usually hurt for a few days after and I heard bananas are good I tried it so hopefully it works

Yessss!!! Last few nights my legs jolt and move like I’m having A fit. And it lasts for hours. But I’m noticed if I drink loads of water it normally helps x

Yesss. Been like this for months. Been told have a banana before bed. And to wear compression socks. Also been told tonic water helps if you can drink it x

Yes!!!!

ohhh never thought of adding lemon to it. I was just drinking it normal adding nothing. Thank you x

Thanks all, I tried the banana and milk trick last night and got my massage gun out and I had no cramps last night! I’m drinking more water today and got some tonic water as people suggested so I’m trying literally every suggestion so they don’t come back 🤣
