Calf pain

Anyone else have pain in their calf’s when they are trying to sleep. It seems to be worse when I use my pregnancy pillow and it’s waking me up. Is there anything people suggest to help with the pain?

Yes !! I do stretches before bed and in the morning, but that’s all I’ve tried!

I was really struggling, untill I started drinking more water every day, since then touch wood it’s not bothered me, but I drank more water and each night I’d rub my legs down to push any knots out aswell ! Hope it helps x

Stay very hydrated and speak with your midwife/Dr see if it's safe for you to take magnesium. If it is take one every night it helped me massively!

Yes, I’ve been waking up with painful cramps in my calf at night. Am going to see if doing some gentle stretches before bed helps 🤞

Yes, water hot water bottles & just rotating your feet/ ankles both ways in circles anytime during the day, I usually just do it with my legs up watching tv or anytime I’m just sitting around I do it in habit now & it seems to have stopped. Also try not to sit or sleep with legs crossed this is known to add to bad circulation
