28 weeks and have cramps on my legs. HELP!!!!

I starting getting cramps on my legs about a couple of days ago but last night was the worst. I still feel the cramping on both legs. What should I do to make them feel better.

  • Mine hurt sometimes too. I prop them up for about half an hour when I am watching tv. Maybe you should try some suppport socks...

  • Putting them up is the best thing to do.  I also found sitting in a bath with epsom salts is good as well.  The best thing I have done and nobody seems to know why it works is taking three Tums (this works especially right before bed).  Also, if you are having the cramps at night while in bed, put an open bar of soap (not Ivory) and place it under the fitted sheet.  Don't know why it works but I have not had a single leg cramp since I put it in there 2 months ago.

  • OMG!!! I did the open soap by my feet and I massage them before I went to bed and felt much better today and didn't have any leg cramps last nite.
