really bad cramp

[nmf1987]

i know others have said about cramp but i was wondering if anyone knows anything that could help. i get it constantly and everywhere.

i tried pressing a button yesterday and got cramp in my fingers/hands.

i have raynaurds disese so my circulation isn't great anyway(really hoping i dont pass this onto baby)

it just bugging me cos its so painful and other than my bk killing me all the time cramp is the only other thing i have had. my preganancy has been easy. (sorry to anyones that hasnt) xxx

I have always ssuffered a bit with cramp but its definetly got worse since I got pregnant.
I have never found a 'cure; or a prevention really

When it happens in my leg hubby holds my leg straight and my foot flat if that makes sense, this pulls the muscle back the other way (cant remember what way is what lol) and usually makes it go away quite quickly...although it does flipping hurt at the time (hence why hubby has to do it for me as I cant do it to myself )

I seem to be getting it in my toes and feet more and more, which is just plain odd, when its happens I just try and straighten my toes out as much as possible.


sorry that deosnt really help much lol, but atleast you know your not alone

Not sure if it will be of any help at all to you Nmf as it was to do with night time leg cramps but I have read a couple of things and there seems to be 2 schools of thought

1) is to up your potassium - eating a banana before bed

2) is to up your Calcium - Eat a yogurt before bed

Either way....I feel for you hun xx
