Leg cramps in night

[Selphie]

So I'm 28 weeks and I'm getting terrible leg cramps in the night, I actually have to roll out of bed and walk around for it go ease.

I'm sitting with legs up on the sofa, doing little gentle feet exercises and have leg straps on.
Is there anything else I can do to ease them?

They still feel sore now when I have to stand up.

I’ve had these horribly in both pregnancy’s. I really feel for you, they were so bad some nights I could barely move and I’d end up crying!

I done exactly the same as you. I found they were worse after a busy today at work - I done permanent nights and I’m sure that made them worse as now I’ve finished for maternity I’ve barely had them! What I did find that really helped was getting my hubby to rub tiger balm on my calves before bed. It would really reduce the pain or keep them at bay completely! Xx
