foot cramps pregnancy

Does anybody else get those crazy calf cramps that tighten up like crazy? And it just hurts sooo bad. Ughhh !!!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Is anyone experiencing foot cramps? My left foot keeps cramping and it hurts for days at a time. Anything to releive the pain?? Thanks in advance!

my husbands foot always cramps up after we have sex....is there a way to stop this....send me a private messege......

I've been having constant foot cramps. Podiatrist recommended some stretches and stuff, but also suggested a thyroid test. FT3 is 3.22 (2.57-4.43) FT4 is 1.17 (0.64-1.77) TSH is 4.24 (0.27-4.2) Anti-Tg is 41.14 (1000 (<5.61) So the TSH is just a hair too high, but the anti-TPO is off the chart. Is there a thyroid problem or not? What does this mean? I've got an appointment with an endocrinologist, but I just want to get ahead of the game.

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.....

Heck yeah. When you get one or feel it coming, flatten your foot. Against a bed, wall, the floor, or in the air. Make it flat like you're standing on it and it should stop the cramp.

It's normal, legs cramping is common in pregnancy. In my last pregnancy I would get them so bad it was like a lingering charley horse. This pregnancy I've had them a trick I've found to help is if you push your heal down like flexing foot flat. Don't point that toe, for me my leg would charley horse and spasm.

Yes what you r going through is normal. I have found that the Internet has some great sights to a dress early pregnancy symptoms. I like baby bump and what to expect when you're expecting. Be Blessed.

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.

Does anyone else have calf cramps at night that leave a sore spot on your calf muscle the next day?

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?

I get foot cramps with this pregnancy, and I usually drink water and use a heat pad on my foot for 5 mins until it relaxes. Hope this helps.

I am 37 weeks. For the last 3 days I have been experiencing Charlie horse like cramps on both legs, upper thighs/inner thighs. I thought maybe dehydration but it's consistent every night at the same time. What's going on?

2nd pregnancy, currently 30 weeks and I get leg cramps everyday! It wasn't like that with my first so idk what to do to help with my leg cramps. I drink a lot of water and I do a lot of walking so idk what can help with this?

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?

I have been getting foot cramps and calf cramps since 4 weeks. It's normal. Drink more water throughout your day and stay hydrated. It should help. Also, stand flat footed, keeping heel on floor, and squat forward slightly, pushing knees forward toward toes. It will help to stretch it out slightly.

Rest cramps: Cramps at rest are very common, especially in older adults, but may be experienced at any age, including childhood. 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.

When I get them I either stretch my foot as far as I can, massage the muscle or sometimes I have to manually move my foot (with my hands) the cramps get so bad that my foot gets stuck in a bad position. As long as I can move my foot and stretch it, it usually goes away.

Hi all, I was up all night with horrid leg pain. The muscles in my right foot and then my right calf started the fun. The worst was by far my left shin muscle. I have verry muscular legs due to the way that I walk. I have never had any MS problems with my legs. I was in teh French Quarter in NO last night. I did some walking with my family. I did not do more or faster than normal. Any ideas what would cause this? It was almost solid pain for 4 hours.
