leg cramps?
So ill be 13 weeks tomorrow but lately while i sleep i get really bad leg cramp. So far its alwaus in my left leg. I sleep on my left side with pillow between my knees but every night for the last four nights the cramp in my leg is so bad i get uncomfortable and cant sleep. Anyne else has this? And is there a way to avoid it?
Oh! Thats great to know :) thk you. Ive read it was dangerous to sleep on ur back while pregnant so i was scared of doing something wrong
Leg cramps are really common in pregnancy. I've found it helps to take a warm shower or bath before bed to help relax. Its also important to stay well hydrated during the day as being dehydrated can cause cramps too. Since you are only 13 weeks along, its not yet necessary to sleep only on your left side, that rule generally applies after 20 weeks. So changing position occasionally may help too.
