Hamstring pain

Ahhhh yesss love... It may have to do with changes in blood circulation and stress on your leg muscles from carrying extra weight. Your growing baby also puts pressure on the nerves and blood vessels that go to your legs. And some doctors say low calcium, or a change in the way your body processes calcium, may cause cramps. Do calf stretches. Stretch with your heels flexed. Stretch before bed if you get cramps at night. If you get a cramp, straighten your leg, heel first, and wiggle your toes. Gently massage your calf to relax the muscle. Avoid sitting or standing in one position for a long time. Move around. Don't sit with your legs crossed or other ways that may hamper blood flow. Take a walk every day or do other regular exercise to prevent cramping, with your doctor's OK. Drink plenty of fluids to keep your muscles hydrated. If you get cramps at night, take a bath before bed to relax leg muscles. When you have a cramp, put a warm towel or hot water bottle on the area.
