I'm not that far along--only 8-9 weeks, but I have been having leg cramps all day today. In both calves.
I drank about 40 ounces of water today as well as a Sprite and a smoothie with banana in it. Not improving.
Is this normal? I get leg cramps sometimes normally, but usually when I've been exercising vigorously. It is super hot here, but I've not been out more than a few minutes at a time.
i don't get cramps, but i have horrible restless leg when i'm pregnant. just kind of a dull ache that makes it uncomfortable to sit for long periods of time.
good luck! i think it just comes with the territory!
It's normal. I've also had restless leg and it's really annoying!
The last time I had one cramp that jolted me out of bed my mom gave me a bar of soap for under my sheets. Old wives' tale, maybe, but that was months ago and I have not had another cramp while sleeping.
Do you do any kind of stretching? I also found that stretching (like yoga) helped reduce those daily cramps.
