on leg cramps during pregnancy

It's my third already; but the pain is still killing me like it's always the first time. Waking up in a painful leg cramps is like a bad nightmare. My mama said it's because of too much salt in my system or maybe I don't drink enough water and I read it's also because of the weight gain :D


It may really be just part of this whole pregnancy but I am still looking for ways on how to prevent the pain.

Stretch your legs a few times a day, especially before bedtime.

Rotate your ankles and wiggle your toes to increase circulation.

Resist pointing your toes as you crawl into bed.

Avoid crossing your legs or standing for long periods of time.

Eat potassium-rich foods such as bananas.

Eat calcium-rich foods such as dairy products, fish with bones (salmon or sardines), green leafy vegetables, almonds and tofu.

Reduce your intake of phosphorus-rich foods such as soft drinks, processed meats and snack foods

Food Suggestions:

Almonds
Bananas
Foods Containing Calcium
Leafy Green Vegetables
Salmon
Sardines
