Leg cramps

Carrie
I'm pregnant with my third child, I'm 20+4 and get terrible leg cramps at night. I only ever get them when I'm pregnant but they are so painful, just wondered if anyone else suffers with these?

I did with my last two pregnancies and I took magnesium to help.

Get a bar of "ivory" soap and put it under your sheets at the foot of your bed! It should help! This is not an "old wives tale." It needs to be "Ivory"

No, it's just bar soap. Get it at the grocery store. My mom swore by it. I tried it and it works for me too!!

Ok thanks I will give that a try. I guess just a chemist will sell Ivory soap. Does this work for you? Thank you

I get restless legs normally but worse during pregnancy. It usually means an iron deficiency or some other nutrient. I would mention it to your doc
