Following up on the last post, Leg cramps are excruciating, and are all too common during Pregnancy. If you wake up with them, flex your feet upwards & stretch through your heels, NEVER point your foot. This will only make the cramp worse.

A super simple stretch that might also be useful for you, is to place the balls of your feet on the edge of a thick phone book. Go up high onto your toes, then come back down again all the way past the edge towards the floor. This counter stretch should feel pretty amazing. Keep going up and down on your toes to strengthen your ankles & calves and enjoy a deep stretch all the way into the tendons.

Make sure to stretch your legs out well before bed if you have been on your feet all day or done lots of walking.

Add these few practices, & I think you will sleep much better tonight!
