Cramps During Pregnancy
How to minimize leg cramps during pregnancy?
There are a lot of things you can do:
-Go for walks everyday (unless you’re advised not to exercise)
-Avoid standing or sitting with your legs crossed for long periods of time.
-Rotate your ankles and wiggle your toes regularly when you’re sitting
-Take a warm bath before bed to relax your muscles (and add a little epsom salt to it)
-Drink plenty of water
-Lie down on your left side to improve circulation to and from your legs
-Avoid getting too tired
If you get a cramp straighten your legs out and flex your ankles back and forth. It’ll hurt at first, but keep it up and it’ll work. You can also apply heat or massage it.
Also, ask your doctor about adding a magnesium supplement with your prenatal vitamin. Magnesium has been shown to help leg cramps during pregnancy.
