Leg cramps

[AuziNikol]

A few days ago I posted about having a ton of cramps in my calf muscles. Today I found out that it is because I work as a cashier so I am on my feet for about 7-8 hours a day. I found out that if a pregnant woman sits or stands to long it can cause these cramps. I was told to get a stool (had to get a dr note for it) take magnesium supplements, stretch my calfs (which I already do) and wiggle my toes (also already do this). A few ladies commented on the post saying they had the same problem, so I figured I'd post with what I found out.

Yeah I've been wearing shoes with insoles, I'm hoping that i don't get my hours cut, but since I just have to sit at a cash register and lowes seems pretty tolerant of pregnant women I don't see that being an issue for me. But you never know

I also had a lot of leg cramps at work where I stood and walked around for 8 hours + daily my doctor suggested a change of shoes from my kitchen shoes to actual running shoes with support inserts, she also gave me a note for a stool but because it would cause a hazardous work environment I got my hours cut 100% I'm still technically employed but I haven't worked in 3 months
