What's your go to remedy for leg cramps?

Question

I personally wake up shouting in pain for help and then stretch out the cramps with plenty of success.
 But tonight I thought my ship was sinking for good. The worst calf cramp I've ever had got me and I cried and begged and couldn't move. 
What do you ladies do to prevent leg cramps? I've heard of taking magnesium but I'm not sure what kind or how successful that is. I had a lot of body cramps with baby #1 later in the pregnancy, but this baby has my legs screaming nightly very early on.

Answer

Always make sure to drink enough water through the day, also if they keep happening I would try banana or anything with potassium, it helps with preventing cramps 
Whenever I do get a leg cramp I would just relax and take deep breaths, it actually helps a lot and fast. Takes some practice being able to relax while a horrible leg cramp is happening tho 😅

Answer

Eating more things with potassium in it will help with leg cramps like bananas

Answer

Yes,  as someone who's had frequent leg cramps all her life,  magnesium is definitely worth a try.  Potassium is also very important. 
If you're worried about supplements, try eating Bananas, Avocados, drinking coconut water (electrolytes are your friend), sweet potato, salmon and yoghurt frequently.
Also make sure you are not dehydrated,  this is also often the trigger for cramps.

Answer

When I start getting cramps, 2 things help me: 
1. Taking calcirol powder in 2 -3 tbsp of milk at night. 
2. Having Epsom salt bath or taking magnesium
