Leg Pain at night???

If it happens alot it could be a blood clot, you should ask your doctor.

Google gave me this https://www.marchofdimes.com/pnhec/159_15292.asp

Maybe try sleeping with those supporting socks.

 

Hiya i had exactely the same thing a few weeks ago where i woke up in the middle of the night stretched my legs and got the most painful cramp ever! it really scared me aswell as being painful, i did a bit of research into this and found that leg cramps are common in the second trimester as can be combated by going for a nice long walk in the afternoon and eating a banana and drinking a glass of milk before you go to bed as it can be a lack of potassium and calcium that is causing it too. Since i started going for the walk and having the milk and banana haven't had it since so i'd def recommmend that in the first case and see if it improves, if not just mention it to your midwife.

Have a read of this too:

i cudnt stretch my toes out either! i forgot about that lol

 

hey i made topic the other day about this - ive had it only the once - woke up 4am with a super tight cramp in my calf. Its ok now. So hope yours goes x

 

I got these cramps really badly when I was pregnant with Aiden. I would wake up crying sometimes because they hurt so bad. The only things that helped me were that I would have to wake up my OH and he'd have to rub my leg or I'd have to move my foot up and down to work the muscle and get it to loosen up. My doctor told me it was really common though.
