A member asked:

I am 24 weeks pregnant and lately i have been having leg cramps at night. what can i do to avoid them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pregnancy/leg cramps: avoid sleeping on your back so your legs get good circulation. Keep well hydrated. Have your doctor check your electrolytes and magnesium. Sometimes despite everything, pregnancy and leg cramps are here to stay.
