Pregnancy often causes imbalances in blood chemistry, and can also cause circulation problems in the legs. Either can cause muscle cramps. You should speak with your obstetrician or midwife about diet and possible supplements. Do not take them on your own. You can improve the circulation by walking at least a mile a day. We realize you probably don't feel like it, but it's better than a blood clot.

Get rid of charley horse in foot?

There has been much speculation about how to do this in medical circles. For some, the addition of iron supplements will help. For others, a bit of magnesium supplements will ease the discomfort, and for a third group potassium will do the trick. So, try eating spinach, okra, or live and chase it with bananas, watermelon, or cantaloupe. All are high in the above nutrients and might prevent the muscle cramps known as charley horse. And, you know, that sounds like a really tasty dinner!
