What to do to relieve heat cramps if pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leg cramps: Leg cramps in pregnancy are vey common. An antidote for cramps is additional calcium intake- eg: chewing a few tums (calcium carbonate). This is not a deficiency sign, calcium appeases the transmitters at the level of neuro muscular connections.
