Specializes in Pediatrics

Supplements: Calf muscle cramps are usually caused by an imbalance in Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphate levels in the body. During pregnancy this can be worsened. First, take a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If negative, then taking a supplement containing Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphate daily will help alleviate the cramps.
