Leg cramp or DVT

I suffer with blood clots severely, it doesn’t sound like a clot, but I think you should take advice as clots go from my
Legs to my lungs in a matter of hours, it happens really quick for me.

I think you probably have a little bit of restless leg syndrome xx

I have unfortunately. Last night was the worst for me however I believe this is rather normal.
If you are worried contact your midwife.

I wake up with leg cramps through the night. Nothing to severe so think it’s normal x

I’ve had this same thing and in the same leg. It’s definitely cramp. It’s happened to me in the middle of the night making me scream much to my partners horror 😂 I’ve also had a blood clot so I’m pretty sure it’s not this that your experiencing I’m pretty sure it’s just cramp and it’s quite common in pregnancy. If I’m doubt give the midwife or hospital a call. X

I think its normal. I get leg cramps most nights I mentioned it to my midwife and she said its something to do with the nerves being squashed by the weight. I tend to sit up in the night and sleep for a couple hrs and then go back to being on my side. I always try and stretch before bed too

This all sounds fine haha! Thankyou. I didn’t think it was serious it just felt different to normal cramps :) I’m working from home now so moving a lot less so it’s probably the cause! Thanks everyone ☺️

As soon as you feel a leg cramp come on, push your heel away from your body and pull your toes towards your body. My midwife recommended it, I was super sceptical but haven’t had a leg cramp lasting longer than 1 second since 😂 the pain from a leg cramp used to be 3-5 days as well, so it’s been a true blessing haha
