I had my 4th attack of leg cramp last night. Leg cramps are by far the most painful ordeal I’ve ever experienced, apart from suffering from a blocked milk duct which caused a terrible breast engorgement for 1 day and several months of painful Carpal Tunnel Syndrome after I had delivered Alycia. Luckily hubby was next to me in bed to help massage my leg to release the tensed up / hardened muscles. If I were alone, I think I’ll scream myself in pain till the muscles release by itself, which may take up to a minute. My Ob&G said that the leg cramp is caused by lack of calcium. I wonder how that can be coz I’ve been popping 600mg of Calcium tabs and drinking a glass of fresh milk everyday, apart from eating Calcium rich food. Did you suffer from leg cramps too during your pregnancy?

I don’t think it’s due to lack of calcium cos i only took the pills and didn’t drink milk at all during my pregnancy and yet I didn’t have cramps. Maybe you walked a lot?
I did walk a lot during my pregnancy and I don’t have any leg cramps but both babies also smooth delivery.
