Pregnancy Leg Pain

Leg cramps are a famous misery of pregnancy. They range anywhere from a fleeting musclular pulling all the way to hopping around in agony. There are many factors which may contribute to the increased tendency toward leg cramps in pregnancy, and there is no agreement among doctors as to which factors are the more important causes.

The muscles may tighten for a variety of reasons, such as:

• Lack of fluids

• Injury

• Muscle strain

• Staying in the same position for a long period of time.

• Blood circulation problems or pressure on the nerves in the spine can also cause cramp-like pains in your legs.

The reasons for increased leg cramps during pregnancy are not known and is still under research. They may be caused by changes in blood circulation during pregnancy or the stress on your leg muscles of carrying the extra weight
