Dr told me to stick my foot in the air and point my toes upward. Sounds weird but it kinda helps

Im getting them too. My 1st pregnancy I got them in the morning and they hurt but felt better after a day. Now I'm 6 months preg and started getting them again. They are excrutiating! Today I could barely walk b/c I got one this morn. and the other leg yesterday. Nothing has helped me but here's what I've tried that's been recommended. Extra calcium magnesium, heat, ma__saging, stretching, tiger balm,sore muscle cream, accupuncture, walking it off. They hit me so viciously that I can't breathe, can't stand at all, can't stretch, and can only cries 'till it lessens a bit. Let me know if anyone has any other suggestions PLEASE!

ooh, this is just what is going on in my life now! I had a cramp in my claf in the middle of the night 2 nights ago and my leg still hurts. I was told it was related to pota__sium and calcium. Eat a bananna and drink some Oj after dinner, stretch your legs, calves, and feet before getting in bed and take 2 tums for the extra calcium at bedtime. Internet says it could be related to dehydration or missing electrolytes too. Drink Water water water all day or some Gatorade. I did all the above last night and didn't wake up with a cramp, but still noticed the potential, like they wanted to cramp, but I was spared the agony! It is so painful!

So around how many weeks do these cramps start? I'm only 11 weeks and that is NOT something I am looking forward to. I drink plenty of fluids and I LOVE gatorade, but just so i can load up on more of the stuff to prevent them, i would like to know when they develop. Please do tell.

I am 31 wks and have had some leg cramps. They always come at night and then my legs are sore for a day or so. I am wondering how the cramping pain compares to labor and delivery...

I'm glad I found this. I am on my 29th week and just started having very painful leg cramps every night or morning. The soreness stays with me through the day and I limp. My joints also crack more. Does that happen to anyone else. The only thing that works for my cramps in ma__sage and trying to keep calm.
