Leg cramps at night?

Question

So I thought I’ve been drinking enough water but last night I woke up with a terrible leg cramp. I had been standing a lot more than usual the day before so not sure if that had anything to do with it. Anyone else dealing with this?
Definitely going to try to up my intake of water today

Answer

I’ve changed the way I stretch in bed. I used to point my toes down to stretch my calves which lead to my legs cramping up to my hip. I now point my toes up and press  down through my heels and get basically the same stretch.

Answer

I’ve been eating a banana every day and drinking body armor as I need it. I drink tons during the day and I had to change the way I stretched my legs out where I point my toes up also! Changing the way you stretch is hard, but it has helped a bunch!

Answer

Had this with first pregnancy,  not yet with 2nd.
Epson salt baths,  and try compression tights.

Answer

Ive woken up with bad leg cramps. My husband had to rub my leg and that would soothe it, but my leg would feel stiff afterwards. Drink Gatorade or something with electrolytes and my doctor told me to take magnesium, but talk to yours too before taking anything extra.

Answer

My doc gave me vitamin E tablets for my leg cramps.. it did help!

Answer

I’ve been struggling with this for weeks! I’m 33 weeks pregnant. My thighs tense up really bad and I wake up in tears. I try to move my legs but the pain lingers. My Dr. literally just said to sleep with a pillow between my legs. That helps a little but not really. I’ve been drinking a lot of Gatorade, eating bananas and sometimes I sleep in a recliner.

Answer

I’m 35w4d and this happens to me multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a night. I drink a ton of water during the day, but maybe epsom salt baths before bed would help. I hope you get some relief!

Answer

I went through this for a little while and drinking more water didn’t help me. I took Epsom salt baths before bed and they went away as well as ate a banana before bed! Good luck. They aren’t fun!
