I get 2 or 3 every night. They are so painful a couple of times they brought me to tears. Dr said drink more w as ter, elevate your legs, do leg stretches couple times a day. Theses are totally normal.
As much as it hurts when you get a cramp extend your leg out and flex your foot. Point your toes towards you. It will go away with in a few seconds.
Do the leg stretches before bed every night and periodically through the day will help. Drink water before bed. I had them very bad with both pregnancies. Im hoping they stay away this pregnancy. They are horrible!
I am having the same thing. I am 24 weeks pregnant and I wake up in the middle of the night screaming in pain. I have right lower leg cramps. Someone told me to stand up against the wall barefoot on a cold floor which actually worked for me. Also, drink the juice of olives in the can or pickles. I haven't tried that but I heard it works fast.
