calf muscle pain - kind of worried

in Pregnant after a Loss

Hey ladies,

   This morning I started having some pain in my left calf muscle.  It feels a bit like tightening and it's starting to worry me.  Do you think I should call the dr. or do you think this is normal?  Anyone have a similar story?  I'm 5 weeks, 6 days pg.  Thanks!

    Aren't leg cramps a common pregnancy symptom? Are you taking PNVs and drinking enough water?

    Thanks for your response...I am taking PNV and drinking a lot of water.  It's just been hanging around all day so I'm getting a little concerned.

    Leg cramps are totally normal esp during pregnancy. They get worse the further along  you are too. I got woken up out of a dead sleep on tuesday morning with one and it lasted until wednesday. It hurt so bad to walk on it and it would cramp worse if I even tried to flex my foot. Since I don't eat bananas, my doc suggested drinking G2 or Powerade Zero (both have way less sugar then regular Gatorade or Powerade). It's helped a lot.
