I never knew muscle cramps in the calf muscles could be so severe. I just recovered from a severe episode which came 4 to 5 times in the same muscle in pulses. I growled put of pain like a monster. Relispray massage and cold water spray have finally relieved it. Before pregnanacy also i ahd experience such calf muscle and thigh muscle cramps on my most hectic work days due to fatigue. But this was pulsatile cramping was different from that.
Do you get such cramps also? Or did u get them in your third trimester too?
How did you manage them?

Hey Amrita I am little confused can I take it with calcium tab post dinner or should I take is alone in day
AMRITA MALLIK
Does ur calcium tab have any other composition i meam other than calcium? Like i am taking shelcal xt. It has calcium, folic acid, vit b12 and vit d3.
AMRITA MALLIK
U can take calcium tab at night as usual and the nvm tab after lunch. Both tabs are having magnesium. Dividing the tabs will b better to maintain constant magnesium level through out the dag

Take enough electrolytes dearies..this can be muscle wasting pain which happens due to low water intake..and low minerals too..take electrolytes.. coconut water has 16 times the electrolyte content than Gatorade..have it..also electrol..fetargin is what my sister took but take anything with consultation with doctor..
