Guest guest Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hello Bee, I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I've been experiencing leg cramps. I notice that whenever I'm very strict with eating low carb that I get leg cramps whether or not I'm pregnant but when I'm not pregnant I don't get them every night like I have been. I increased my Calcium/magnesium intake from 500 to 600 to see if that would help but it has not. The leg cramps are just at night while I'm trying to turn over with a heavy belly and so they happen in which ever foot/leg it is I'm using to help me turn over. Any suggestions will be most helpful. My physical therapist co-worker said my shoes weren't helping my situation but I don't think it's just my shoes. I'm wondering if I should increase my salt intake? Or Potassium? If so, how would I increase my potassium intake on this diet? Thank You in advance, Nichole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
