I haven't been pregnant in 20 years but still get the leg cramps. Pointing toes up for calf cramp immediately cause cramps in the shin. You haven't lived until you have calf, shin, inner thigh and foot cramps on both legs at the same time. To stretch one muscle contracts the other muscle. Organic apple cider vinegar (2 tbsp + 1/4 tsp baking soda, let fizz, add a couple oz cold water and drink...if in too much pain just swill the ACV straight) helps almost immediately. However, as a Hashimoto's (low thyroid) patient there are 'seasons' where the muscles twitch in prep for cramping at any and all times of the day. I use EmergenC and Peter
Gilliam's Natural Calm (pwd magnesium) to supplement. THis helps, too. I also rub copious amounts of magnesium oil (buy online) and coconut oil onto my legs. Usually sleep like a baby then. Looking forward to purchasing the Amish 'Stops Leg Cramps' soon.
where to get the magnesium oil and coconut oil?
