I am usually on my feet during the day so at night when i relax i get them and they are really painful. It could be dehydration or it coud be from the weight being put on your leg muscles.
It couldn't be water, I drink 5-6 liters a day. It might be from being on my feet all day? Idk but they really suck. Sometimes I even get woke up in the middle of the night because of the pain. Could it maybe be because im not getting enough calcium??
I got them way bad with my 1st and even some with my 2nd. I hope #3 doesn't bring them. Drink lots of water and try eatting some bananas. They helped with the frequency of my 2nd.
idk about ways to prevent them but once u got a charlie horse u need to put ur weight on the leg that has the cramp. it makes it hurt at first but then thats what makes it go away
Thanks everyone for the feedback im definitely gonna mention them to my dr and have her check to see if im deficient on any vitamins. Hopefully there's a solution, if not I'll suffer for the next 3 months.
I'll have to look into it. My diet has been ridiculous lately so I really wouldn't be surprised if im getting these nasty cramps because I need vitamins, be it potassium, calcium, or whatever. Definitely need to get back to eating a well balanced, healthy diet thats for sure.
I was getting them in the mornings when I steached before getting out of bed. They were so bad I got them one right after the other for a good five mins on each leg, I would cry! Anyways I added potassium pills along with my vitamins and lots of water and I havent had them since. Potassium helps distrbute water evenly in the body
I thought it was just another affect of pregnancy I wanted to just chop off my darn legs smh I vowed to never stretch again... I had one in each leg at the same that woke me out my sleep wth... I swear I hate taking pills but if there's a cure give it to me
