Leg Cramps

I definitely recommend the magnesium too! And a glass of milk before bed. I also do stretches before I lie down which seems to help! Good luck, they are the worst! xo

I go to the gym a few times a week and a couple of weeks ago I started having major leg cramps, especially in the calf region - very painful. I reduced the intensity slightly and started blackmores magnesium compound and its gone! Good luck x

Its important to have calcium in conjunction with magnesium as the help each other with absorption. You can buy combined cal mag supplements. Cal Mag helps muscles relax in general so it is good to have a nice store of it when labour arrives. Drinking heaps of water will help too, pity bout all the peeing that go's with it though, lol.

Definitely calcium and magnesium. I took them everyday and didnt have one leg cramp.

Try standing on a cold surface, which can sometimes stop a spasm. Or relieve leg pain during pregnancy by straightening your leg and gently flexing your ankle and toes back toward your shins several times. If either of these techniques works, you can try a prenatal massage or add local heat for added relief, but don't massage or add heat if neither flexing nor cold helps the situation.
