Does anyone else have leg cramps?

Question

So I am finally pretty much over my morning sickness of the 1st trimester and in the 2nd and I woke up just now with excruciating calf pain! Literally cried for like 10 minutes until it went away. Guess it's normal! But is there anything to do for it/prevent it or do you just have to deal with it? Haha thanks 😀

Answer

If you are referring to spasms then YES!!!! I have them in my legs and butt 😠😳. We need more potassium  (bananas) also  standing up also releases the tension. This is my first pregnancy  (twins) and I'm amazed at all the random pains that I'm experiencing THAT ARE NORMAL but none of the women  (my sisters!!!) Remember experiencing them until after I freak out! Praying.

Answer

I have a banana addiction as it is (I pretty much always eat one a day) so I think that helps as I have had cramps and have realized it was on days when I'd skipped bananas. But also walking seems to help me. I have a desk job so I sit a lot but if I can walk the dog for 30 min -45 min or so, my legs (and low back and hips) seem to stay happy.

Answer

I get really bad Charley horses in my calves. The last one I got. I stood up and it went away. I get them bad when I'm sleeping.

Answer

I haven't been getting cramps but I do occasionally get restless leg in my right leg.  Usually if I hold my leg straight up for a few minutes that helps.

For cramps what about potassium?  Maybe a banana or two would help relieve the cramps?  I hope this never happens to me because I can't stand bananas lol

Answer

Me too! I've also heard to try drinking more water and that pickles help! Much better option then bananas!

Answer

There is a good variety in this list,  hopefully that helps!
