I'm in my 2nd trimester and i've been
having leg cramps at night for about 3
days now. They are so bad that they wake
me up at night! I don't get them during
the day though. I've always been told
they were due to a calcium deficiency if
you had them before the 3rd trimester.
Has anyone else had these and is that
true?

I get them constantly and they are
sometimes so painful I have to stop what I
am doing, but ive only started getting
them at the beginning of the third
trimester. Have you spoken to your
midwife, maybe shell be able to perscribe
you something for the pain, or if shes
worried, test you further?

Oh the joys of pregnancy! Leg cramps can
be common in pregnancy. I got them with
my last 2 pregnancies. I hope I don't get
it this time.
Mine went as my pregnancy progessed but I
don't know if there is anything you can
take for it as it is completely random
when it happens.

I get them at night or early in the
morning. If you try to move your toes it
should help or try walking
