Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Those cramps are a MAJOR SYMPTOM of magnesium deficiency. That deficiency can cause toxemia. http://www.barttersite.com/mglegcramps.htm http://www.dietsite.com/dt/diets/pregnancy/legcrampsduringpregnancy.asp http://tinyurl.com/2a6s9 You should start taking a magnesium supplement IMMEDIATELY (and if you check with your midwife/OB, they will not be worried about you adding this supplement). Start with 200 mg a day and then go up to 400-600 mg a day. http://www.mgwater.com/listd.shtml#pregnancy This will also help you if you are experiencing constipation. :-) http://www.mgwater.com/listc.shtml#const Z cramps To: ossg-pregnant I have started having massive cramps in my upper thighs....with my son 4.5 years ago I had cramps in my calves like charlie horses....I have had that happen one or two times this pregnancy....But these are massive cramps that shoot down my legs.

I have had some but not that bad. I think sometimes it is the pressure on our backs that make the legs hurt like that, the sciatica nerve.
