Try drinking some 100plus (recommended by my doc) and wear compression socks. When having cramps, squeeze your calf tight or place your legs down at the side of the bed. It help to release the cramp.

Same. I get this almost every night. Bought compression socks and it helped a abit, but still cramp šŸ„² It said to help prevent water retention too.

Oh this can be countered with flexing ur calves, so do the opposite of pointing ur toes. Thats what the nurses shared! hope it helps

Same here. I am a yoga instructor and last year my calf muscles are painful when I am pregnant with my twins

Lack of calciumā€¦ not enough calcium give u cramps
