Avatar f tn Go to CVS or a health food store, the is a product by Hylands called leg cramps. Its homeopathic and safe during pregnancy. I highly recommend it! Works for back cramps too. Also you can take a magnesium supplement that does wonders as well. I take both. Good luck.
Avatar m tn I have been getting horrible leg cramps at night that go away but if I put my foot on a certain position or are standing it comes back just not as pain full. Any advice?
Avatar f tn Foot cream rubbed on the back of my calves helped. So did soaks in hot water and showers. Get hubby to give you a leg rub. Heating pad on the legs where it hurts or a warm water bottle. Exercise helps to keep the blood flowing. Wooden massage tool. Hop something helps soon! I feel your pain! I'm going through the exact same thing right now!!
Avatar n tn Hi ladies, is anyone suffering from leg/foot cramps. I'm 25 weeks pregnant and they've started coming on badly in the evenings and during the night in the last few weeks. I'm trying to drink lots of water and have a topical magnesium cream but nothing helps. So painful and causing really disturbed sleep. Any ideas?
Avatar f tn I woke up last night having the worst leg cramps. It did get better to the point where I could go back to sleep. My leg has hurt all day today still feeling like it's cramping a little bit. I've heard leg cramps could be more painful during pregnancy. Is it normal for your leg to still be this sore so long after it first started to cramp? Is is anything to worry about?
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 It happens at night for me and I have to get out of bed and like jump around for it to stop. It hurts so so bad in my calves. I know its common during pregnancy but geez it hurts so bad.
Avatar f tn Yes I get them all day and night, 3rd pregnancy for me and nothing really makes them go away I alternate stretching, pillows, exercise, tylonol (when unbearable), potassium, I try to eat bananas. Sometimes it helps others nothing works. Its one of the more annoying cant do much about it symptoms, just try to hang in there, oh also sleeping propped up helps, in a recliner prefrably. Hope you find some relief.
Avatar f tn m only 5 weeks and during Implantation I had cramps too almost like gassy feeling cramps and expanding twinges. Your fine unless you end up bleeding a lot which would be a miscarriage. Up until 5 days ago I still had cramps don't worry its normal, also feeling tired and bloated is normal.
Avatar f tn The book I have says doctors don't fully understand leg cramps. Charlie horses are thought to be caused by low potassium, but leg cramps during pregnancy aren't always necessarily caused by low potassium. It says to stretch your calves before bed and if you get a cramp flex your foot and rub the leg. It helps, I didn't get them until 27 weeks. They suck. Usually if I feel one coming on I flex my foot and try to relax.
Avatar f tn Ugh had a terrible one yesterday morning. Made me jump outa bed real quick. My whole lower leg and foot. I get them every pregnancy and dont know how to stop them. Interested in remedies as well!
Avatar f tn Does anybody else get those crazy calf cramps that tighten up like crazy? And it just hurts sooo bad. Ughhh !!!
Avatar f tn I definitely had cramping during the first trimester but if it gets severe I would go to the doctor
Avatar f tn Try eating a banana or two a day and drink a glass of water before bed. If it still happens lift your foot up so knee is in the air and foot is on the bed.
1388357 tn?1280189493 Hi...I still get the vibration and cramps in my foot...it always seemed to happen when I changed my shoes...one style to another..... I am still having this issue...tho not like b4 as that is the case with many of my symptoms...but I had a month or more of the vibrating, now I have had a few nights of cramps in the arch of my feet. My hands tend to cramp when I hold something too long.....
Avatar f tn When it starts, press your foot against the wall or bed or something. Anything to make your foot flat. I couldn't stand up with mine, they were bad. But making your foot flat will relieve it QUICK.
1123420 tn?1350561158 is it normal to get charlie horses so much at the end of pregnancy. I swear i have one-three a night now for that last couple weeks, and now my lower leg in the back hurts really bad, like out of the blue. I just took a warm bath, and now i have slight cramping.
Avatar n tn I have also been having cramps during sex. One time it was so bad that my fiance was like dont touch him any more cause it scared him.
