Help with leg cramps...

[j2113]

2nd pregnancy, currently 30 weeks and I get leg cramps everyday! It wasn't like that with my first so idk what to do to help with my leg cramps. I drink a lot of water and I do a lot of walking so idk what can help with this?

The water alone isn't enough. Electrolytes and salt. Get some gatorade and chips.

Always remember right when it occurs striagten your leg out and make sure you keep the soul of your foot straight as if you're going to going to walk. Do not lean your foot back!

Bananas can help because they are  high in potassium.  Which is Polley the biggest cause of ur cramps not getting enough I use to get them a lot when I played sports and that was the cause of them.

Try eating bananas too. They are supposed to help.

You could try hot baths and heating pads on your legs where you get your cramping.
