Leg cramps?

Mrs.AshAsh

I have been having the worst leg/calf cramping lately. I didnt have any kind of symptoms like this when I was pregnant with my first two. Not sure if its due to it being twins this time but I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I woke in tears and almost screaming from them last night (Ive been waking every night now from just being super uncomfortable in my 3rd trimester). TIA for any suggestions. :-)

34 weeks here and I have been having terrible leg cramps too.  I have found that a banana a day seems to help some, as well as making sure your water intake is up.  It doens't stop them entirely, but has helped me some!  good luck!

Let your doctor know ASAP.  I don't want to scare you but during my pregnancy I formed a blood clot in my leg.  The ultrasound showed that it was just superficial clot and it was nothing to worry about.  It was SUPER painful. After having the baby I formed a new one and put off going to DR because I didn't think they would do anything. Finally after enough pain....the ultrasound showed a DVT (a clot that travels to the heart or lungs). I had to stop nursing due to having to be on bloodthinners   Don't wait......make your doctor order an ultrasound.
