Anyone Getting Any Cramps?

[Deejoy17]

I`ve been getting cramps in my feet during the night over the last couple of weeks

Not with this pg yet thank goodness but I got them all the time third trimester with my first bub. It's something I'm not looking forward to with this one. Funnily enough, when I started getting heartburn and taking Rennie (which became by best friend), I found the cramps didn't happen as often.

I have had two absolute shockers in my calf over the last 10 weeks. Both times I haven't been able to walk properly for three days after! Each time it happens I am reminded to take my magnesium powder! I just put a teaspoon in water and it keeps them away, until I forget again!!!

I have been sometimes in my calfs.
I also had what I'd thought were hamstring cramps but turned out to be sciatic pain.
I have not had as many with this pg as I did the last time around.

Magnesium can help some people. I know the blackmores one states that its safe to take in pregnancy.

Childondaway- Yep Im getting real bad cramps in my calves too. I go back to the midwife on Friday coming, so I will ask her what I can do. I think I have heard of the calcium thing before. I also notice if I have some swelling at night, when I get up in the morning, it hurts to walk for 10mins or so.

With DD & DS, I got 1 or 2 very painful crippling cramps in the 3rd trimester..
