Calf cramps

Je

Jessica

Sooo for the first time, I woke up in Saturday crying in pain. My calf cramped up for about 25 minutes and it was one of the worst pains I have ever felt. I even scared the life out of my husband. He did not know how to help. He tried stretching my calf and foot but nothing.

How do I avoid this happening again???

Drink water! The main cause is because you’re dehydrated. You should drink an extra tow glasses of water each day when pregnant so easy to become a little dehydrated x

I have been using the alcohol gel before bedtime and ask my husband to rub on my calves for a while. It seems to help. Or anything that's cooling. The logic is it helps open up the pores and help with the blood circulation. If you have those things handy, guess worth trying. I hate it that I woke up in a panic with those cramps!

Yes! I’ve been having them for awhile but have gotten so much worse the past couple weeks! Had one so bad two nights ago, it still hurts! 😫🤦🏻‍♀️🤰🏻

I had one early this morning and it’s still in so much pain! I’ve gotten them frequently throughout my life and there is nothing I’ve found to prevent them!
