Horrid Leg Cramps At Night

[satya]

I only had two leg cramps throughout my entire pregnancy. I believe this is because I was living on tums for indigestion and they contain calcium.

I would recommend eating a banana and drinking some milk before going to bed - they help my leg cramps.

I get them to sometimes. But I just push my heel down and that seems to ease the cramp. They only seem to last a few minutes but my calf can ache for days later. I have been taking Blackmores Calcium and Magnesium once a day, but I am considering increasing the dose to twice a day.
Good luck. Oh I also heard that heat bags can help...

Yes They are shocking!AND painful
IN my last pregnancy id wake up in complete shock, I didnt know what was happening!I would practise my labour breaths with every single cramp.
Ive only had one or 2 so far but I have heard that magnesium (that is a muscle relaxant) will help. I'm going to try the milk and banana trick!
