so I’m 17 weeks pregnant and I get Charlie horses every now and then, but on Tuesday night I got 3 back to back in my left calf. it was TERRIBLE… but now two days later my calf is still sore as heck if not worse and it feels like there’s a knot in it where I had the cramp. when I walk it feels like my leg is extra heavy ! it’s making me so anxious and I’m just freaking out a little honestly idk anybody been here? have any advice? :(

when you feel the cramp in your calf, pull your left toes forward.

You may be dehydrated Or need potassium. Lots of liquids. Bananas

How this helps

It sounds like the typical cramp.

You are pregnant, I would call the OBGYN nurse for instructions
