Leg Cramps :(

[rainbow_girl_1]

These cramps suck!!!!!! I started getting hem in the middle of my pregnancy and still getting them now. They leave my calves sore for a couple of days, so over them,altough i have had my iron tested cuz since being UTD i cannot stand the smell or taste of red meat but the tests all came back ok

I had cramps in my claves (both at the same time!!) really badly the other week and started on the magnesium tablets straight away. I haven't had any since. Brazil nuts also have magnesium so you can munch on them during the day as well.

hi all. thanks for the advise. i ended up going to the doctors yesterday as it got to the point where i can barely walk - that bad!

anyway he's told me to take Caltrate - a calcium supplement + bananas are good too for potassium, because it's apparently a calcium and potassium deficiency. which makes sense as i am lactose intolerant and barely have any milk etc.

the caltrate supposedly makes you constipated (but what's new )...
