Wow, had the worst Charlie horse in my left calf last night. I read that these leg cramps are extremely common In the 2nd/3rd trimesters. I went to stretch and my leg muscle started spasming. Haven't had that type of pain in years. I read that pregnant women should take a magnesium supplement, or try stretching the calf muscles every night. I'm sure I'm bound to get more during this pregnancy, but I'm hoping there is something I can do to keep them from happening so frequently. I have varicose veins too, so I'm sure this won't help matters. Now my leg is sore. #ouch

Elevate your legs during the day when you can. And warm compresses. 😊

Yeah, I looked up leg calf muscle cramps and they are considered Charlie horses which are very common in 2nd/3rd trimesters. I can relate, the pain is horrible!! @andgee24

I had them so much in my second trimester EVERY time I stretched! When you stretch as soon as you feel the Charlie horse coming, point your toes upwards as far back as you can, that worked for me and stopped the cramp before it happened! Try it
