A member asked:

Hi i'm 6 weeks 2 days pregnant and i've got really uncomfortable leg cramps down both legs. what could be causing this? any advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more minerals: Frequently it is because the pregnancy is taking some of the minerals it needs from your body and you are becoming low in these levels--most commonly calcium, magnesium, zinc, or potassium. A good diet and good balanced prenatal vitamin with minerals should help.
