7291171 tn?1393336748 Ugh i get cramps in my legs at night and my hips feel like they are being pulled apart at the joint! I can usually get comfortable laying on my right side, but as soon as i do my hip will ache like crazy! Besides drinking more water what can i do, any sleeping positions or pillow between knees suggestions? This also happened with my 1st but it's worse this time around! I am 35w2d now and time is flying by!!
Avatar f tn Rest cramps often occur during the night. While not life-threatening, night cramps (commonly known as nocturnal cramps) can be painful, disruptive of sleep, and they can recur frequently (that is, many times a night, and/or many nights each week). The actual cause of night cramps is unknown. Sometimes, such cramps are initiated by making a movement that shortens the muscle. An example is pointing the toe down while lying in bed, which shortens the calf muscle, a common site of cramps.

Avatar f tn Im really uncomfortable when it comes to sleeping at nights , i tried sleeping on my stomach and thats the only way i can sleep . but i was wondering if it affects the baby in any way ?
Avatar n tn I did some research on foot cramps and can tell you what I have found out. I do not know your age, but cramps in the feet while sleeping at night is apparently fairly common as people grow older. It is believed that this is sometimes caused by poor circulation in the feet, and is more common in diabetics than in other people. If you are younger than the middle years, then perhaps it could be a result of damage to blood vessels because of diabetes not properly controlled.
8644515 tn?1411138777 i just got my first leg cramp while sleeping last night, and haven't been able to sleep since. Is there anyway anyone knows how to avoid this? Little tips or tricks are appreciated!!! They hurt soooooooo bad!!
Avatar f tn By now my tummy is bulging so sleeping on back or tummy is ruled out. However I am not comfortable sleeping in just 1 position throughout whole night. So keep changing between left and right side. I want to ask if it's safe to change position in lying down position or should I sit and then change to the other side? Pls share your views.
Avatar f tn Ugh! Currently more present. Im sleeping n wake up to a camp on my calfts twice last night. Im 25 wks. :/ really uncomfortable n hurtful.

12216401 tn?1424138136 I've had real bad leg cramps the past few days , I didn't think it had anything to do with my pregnancy until I saw it as a symptom on this app . Has anyone else had leg pain through their pregnancy ?
Avatar f tn t only choke during sleep, but also during my waking hours. I will choke when I taste a strong or sweet flavour or when I am just sitting around.. At night, I have no idea. I sleep on my side because the choking happens less often, but it still happens quite frequently. As far as I can tell, it is only saliva that I am choking on and it is a small amount since nothing comes up when I am coughing to get my breath back.
8727253 tn?1400194561 It happens to me while Im trying to sleep.. I ususlly move my foot with my hands bc you cant move it yourself ..slowly so its not so painful and then when I regain my foot control I massage the back calf musscle. Seems to work for me..5mins and Im back to sleep.
435139 tn?1255460391 I had awful leg cramps as well with my first! It was also worse at night or when sleeping! I LOVE bananas...but I never noticed it helping me. =( Maybe I needed to eat more or something. But, it seems pretty common in pregnancy, especially the further along you are.
Avatar f tn My 4 year old son has been complaining of his right foot hurting for about 1 and a half years. It happens at night and he wakes up screaming and he cant even walk to my room he has to be carried. I thought it was probably growing pain cause my 10 year old boy has had problems with growing pain in his legs in front of the shin bones and calf area, but im starting to think its something else in both of them.
Avatar m tn Over the past month while I am sleeping and I turn over I get pain in my right knee. Once I settle after the turn it goes away and I fall back to sleep. I also get some pain in my right shoulder at the same time. On several occasions I was not able to get back to sleep right away. Any suggestions for the cause and how to fix it so I can sleep thru the night.?
